shall  take  precedence  over  all  officers  placed  under  their  command. 

See.  1469,  R.  s.  The  Secretary  of  the  Navy  may,  in  his  discretion,  detail  a  line

officer  on  board  the  vessel,  or  at  the  station,  take  precedence  over 
all  officers  attached  to  the  vessel  or  station.  All  orders  of  such

Decisions.  52.  The  foregoing  are  provisions  of  the  statute  laws  of  the  coun- 

try. In  view  of  the  fact  that  their  meaning  and  force  have  been 
sometimes  misunderstood,  they  are  here  given  for  the  information 
of  the  service,  with  the  following  declarations  and  regulations, 
promulgated  as  the  views  of  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy  upon  the 
subject-matter,  and  his  official  construction  of  the  law  as  it  exists 
in  relation  thereto.  By  the  force  of  naval  law,  and  regulations 
made  in  conformity  therewith,  the  following  principles  are  estab- 
lished and  exist  as  essentials  of  all  military  service,  without  which

precedence  over  all  officers  and  persons,  of  whatever  rank,  serving 
In  such  vessel,  station,  or  expedition,  or  in  the  execution  of  such

take  precedence  according  to  their  rank ;  but  when  such  procession 
forms  a  military  command,  the  command  devolves  upon  the  senior 
line  officer  present  eligible  to  command,  subject  to  the  limitation 
of  article  1494,  and  authority  and  precedence  attach  accordingly. 
On  all  courts-martial,  courts  of  inquiry,  boards  of  survey,  and 
other  boards,  line  and  staff  officers  take  precedence  according  to

the  exercise  of  authority  delegated  by  law  to  their  juniors  in

military  service,  operating  alike  on  all  officers  of  both  line  and

is  at  the  time  in  command  of  the  vessel  of  war  or  naval  station 
to  which  the  senior  is  attached,  or  in  command  or  direction  of 
the  military  expedition  or  duty  on  which  such  senior  is  serving,

regulations,  any  request  therefor  from  such  senior,  satisfying 
himself  as  to  its  propriety,  and  deciding  the  matter  in  the  exercise 
of  his  own  authority.  Any  officer  on  shipboard,  however,  who  is

aid  or  executive,  who  are  entitled  to  relieve  him  in  the  per- 
formance of  such  duty. 

53.  (1)  The  efficiency  of  every  military  organization  requires 
of  the  commanding  authority,  besides  the  general  duties  of  com- 
mand and  direction,  the  additional  duties  of  organization,  police, 
and  inspection;  all  these  appertain  to  and  go  with  the  command. 
For  the  relief  of  the  commanding  officer  they  are  usually  in- 
trusted, in  their  details,  to  subordinates,  but  they  are  performed 
by  his  authority  and  under  his  direction.  On  shipboard  the 
Secretary  of  the  Navy,  by  authority  of  law,  designates  the  senior 
line  officer  to  perform  these  duties  in  addition  to  the  ordinary 
duties  assigned  to  him  as  such  line  officer  attached  to  the  ship. 
The  officer  so  designated  is  called,  for  the  time  being,  "  the  aid 
or  executive  of  the  commanding  officer,"  This  is  not  a  new  rank : 
nor  has  the  officer  by  virtue  of  the  title,  or  in  consequence  of  the 
detail,  any  new  "  independent  authority."  It  is  merely  a  designa- 
tion of  the  officer  who,  for  the  relief  of  the  captain  and  by  his 
authority  alone,  carries  out,  on  board  the  ship,  the  details  of 
organization,  inspection,  and  police. 

(2)  As  the  officer  in  charge  of  the  police  of  the  ship  and  the 
execution  of  all  provisions  made  for  her  general  good  condition, 
appearance,  and  safety,  his  duties  are  constant  and  call  him  every- 
where, and  give  him,  as  representative  of  the  captain  for  that 
purpose,  charge  of  and  authority  over  the  details  necessary  to 
the  proper  performance  of  all  police  duties.    To  this  authority 
all  officers  and  persons  aTe  required  to  yield  full  and  prompt 
acquiescence. 

(3)  As  the  inspecting  officer  of  the  ship,  required  at  stated  pe- 
riods to  examine  and  report  her  general  condition  and  efficiency 
in  all  her  departments,  the  aid  or  executive  is  entitled  to  make 
personal  examination  of  and  report  upon  all  these,  and  for  that 
purpose  every  facility  is  to  be  afforded  him  by  every  officer  at- 
tached to  the  vessel;  and  all  officers  in  charge  of  storerooms  or 
other  parts  of  the  ship  are  required  to  have  such  storeroom  or 
parts  of  the  ship  in  proper  condition  for  his  inspection,  at  such 
times  as  may  be  designated  by  the  commanding  officer. 

(4)  As  the  officer  to  whom  the  details  of  the  organization  of  the 
ship's  company  are  intrusted,  the  aid  or  executive  is  the  proper 
person  to  station  the  officers  and  crew,  and  to  prepare,  form,  pa- 
rade, and  present  them  in  proper  attitude  for  review  and  inspec- 
tion by  the  captain  or  other  proper  officer,  and  for  this  purpose 
he  has  authority  to  take  preliminary  charge  of  all  formations  and 
parades,  to  see  that  the  whole  is  properly  organized  and  paraded, 
and  to  receive  the  reports  customary  on  such  occasions  from  the 
officers  in  charge  of  departments  and  divisions,  and  transmit  them 
as  a  whole  to  the  captain.     While  carrying  out  the  details  of  or- 
ganization and  those  of  police  and  inspection,  in  execution  of  the 
orders  of  the  commanding  officer,  the  aid  or  executive  takes  prec- 
edence over  all  officers  attached  to  the  ship,  and  shall  be  obeyed 
and  respected  accordingly.     Reports  of  heads  of  departments  and 
of  officers  senior  in  rank  to  the  aid  or  executive,  other  than  those 
above  mentioned,  will  be  made  direct  to  the  commanding  officer. 
The  commanding  officer  is  authorized  to  grant  temporary  leave  of 
absence  to  the  officers  and  others  attached  to  the  vessel.     "Under 
his  orders  and  special  directions  such  leave  of  absence  may  be 
granted  by  the  aid  or  executive  to  officers  who  are  junior  to  him 
in  rank;  these  officers  will  report  their  return  from  leave  to  the 
aid  or  executive.     Officers  senior  in  rank  to  the  aid  or  executive 
desiring  to  leave  the  ship  will  obtain  the  required  permission  di-

rectiy  from  the  commanding  officer,  and  upon  their  return  from 
leave  will  report  the  same  to  him.  All  officers  will  report  their 
permission  to  leave  the  ship,  and  their  return,  to  the  officer  of  the 
deck.  The  departure  and  return  of  officers  senior  to  the  aid  or 
executive  will  be  reported  to  the  latter  by  the  officer  of  the  deck. 

(5)  These  duties  of  organization,  inspection,  and  police  devolve 
upon  "  the  aid  or  executive  of  the  commanding  officer  of  a  icaacl : 
of  war  "  by  virtue  of  his  detail  as  such  ** aid  or  executive,**  and' 
they,  and  the  exercise  of  the  authority  necessary  to  execute  them, 
are  recognized  by  all  military  law  and  usage,  and  by  the  statute 
which  authorizes  his  designation.    But  they  are  duties  pertaining 
to  the  command,  delegated,  under  sanction  of  law,  by  the  captain 
to  his  "aid  or  executive,"  who,  in  carrying  them  out.  is  "exe- 
cuting the  orders  of  the  commanding  officer.**  and  the  authority 
exercised  as  necessary  to  their  execution  is  the  authority  of  ~  the 
commanding  officer,**  exercised  by  his  -  aid  or  executive."  and  not 
the  authority  of  the  ~  aid  or  executive  **  himself.     By  the  express 
provision  of  the  statute,  this  officer  has  ~  no  independent  author- 
ity "*  as  such  "  aid  or  executive,*"  but  exercises  only  the  authority 
necessarily  delegated  for  the  execution  "  of  the  orders  of  the  com- 
manding officer."     This  delegated  authority,  however,   is  recog- 
nized by  the  statute  which  confers  on  the  "aid  or  executive,** 
while  exercising  it,  "  precedence  over  all  officers  attached  to  the 
ship,"  of  whatever  rank  or  corps.     But  this  special  precedence  is 
given  to  him  only  "  while  executing  the  orders  of  the  commanding 
officer  on  board  ship,"  and  is  not  his  under  other  circumstances. 

(6)  The  officer  in  command  of  a  ship  of  war  is  not  authorized  to 
delegate  his  power  except  for  the  carrying  out  of  the  details  of  the  "*****••** 
general  duties  to  be  performed  by  his  authority.    The  command  is 

his,  and  he  can  neither  delegate  the  duties  of  it  to  another,  nor 
avoid  its  burdens,  nor  escape  its  responsibilities;  and  his  "aid  or 
executive,"  in  the  exercise  of  the  power  given  to  him  for  '•exe- 
cuting the  orders  of  the  commanding  officer,"  must  keep  himself 
constantly  informed  of  the  commander's  opinions  and  wishes 
thereon ;  and  whenever  and  as  soon  as  he  may  be  informed  or  is  in 
doubt  as  to  such  opinion  or  wishes  he  must  remedy  such  defect  by 
prompt  and  personal  application,  to  the  end  that  the  authority  of 
the  captain  may  be  used  only  to  carry  out  his  own  views;  and 
that  he  may  not  be,  by  its  unwarranted  exercise,  in  any  measure 
relieved  from  his  official  responsibilities,  which  can  neither  be  as- 
sumed by  nor  fall  upon  any  other  officer. 

(7)  The  details  of  these  duties  may  be  more  fully  defined  by     Aithoriij 
general  or  special  orders  and  regulations,  but  the  "aid  or  execu-0**'1;^"*8 
tive  of  the  commanding  officer  of  a  vessel  of  war"  has,  as  such"' 

"aid  or  executive,"  no  other  duties  or  authority  except  those 
which  come  within  the  scope  of  the  above  descriptions;  and  any 
other  authority  at  any  time  to  be  exercised  by  the  officer  desig- 
nated as  such  "  aid  or  executive  "  must  be  such  authority  only  as 
belongs  to  him  by  virtue  of  his  rank  iu  the  line.  This  is  his  in  his 
own  right,  with  all  the  power  and  precedence  which  belong  to  it, 
but  it  is  to  be  exercised  only  according  to  the  general  rules  govern- 
ing alike  all  officers  of  all  corps  and  every  grade. 

(8)  It  is  not  necessary,  nor  consistent  with  military  usage  and 
efficiency,  that  the  "aid  or  executive"  should  be  required  to  an-JJJ^ 
nounce  with  every  order  given  or  authority  exercised  by  him  ; 
such,  that  he  is  "  executing  the  orders  of  the  commanding  officer." 
The  delegated  character  of  this  authority  is  fully  understood  and

is  defined  by  the  statute,  which  contemplates  obedience  to  it  as 
such  by  "  all  officers  attached  to  the  vessel,"  and  the  statute,  while 
it  provides  that  the  officer  detailed  to  act  as  "  aid  or  executive " 
shall,  "  when  not  impracticable,  be  next  in  rank  to  the  command- 
ing officer,"  still  contemplates  the  same  obedience  when  this  is 
impracticable. 

(9)  Any  complaint  or  appeal   growing  out  of  the  exercise  of 
these  duties  should  be  made  to  the  commanding  officer,  and  the 
right  to  make  any  such  complaint  or  appeal  shall  not  be  denied  to 
any  person. 

(10)  The  right  of  all  officers,  whether  of  the  line  or  staff,  to 
communicate  with  the  commanding  officer  at  all  proper  times  and 
places  is  not  to  be  denied  or  restricted ;  but  this  does  not  interfere 
with  the  duty  of  all  such  officers  to  recognize  and  acquiesce  in  the 
authority  delegated  to  the  "  aid  or  executive  "  for  the  purpose  of 
police,  organization,  and  inspection  as  aforesaid,  nor  confer  upon 
any  such  officer  the  right  to  interrupt  the  ordinary  course  of  mili- 
tary organization  or  duty,  while  in  actual  execution,  for  the  pur- 
pose of  making  such  communication. 

54.  Every  officer  in  charge  of  a  department  has  the  general 
right,  at  all  proper  times,  to  communicate  and  confer  directly  with 
the  responsible  commanding  officer  concerning  any  matter  relating 
to  his  department;  and  his  duty  to  do  so  is  absolute  whenever  he 
thinks  it  necessary  for  the  good  of  his  department  or  of  the 
service.

40  HONORS  AND   DISTINCTIONS.  [CHAP.  III. 

SECTION  4. — HONORS  AND  DISTINCTIONS  IN  GENERAL. 

Attention  pre-      86.  Previous  to  rendering  honors  to  passing  ships  of  war,  to 
ingUhonorse       "  officials,  to  flag  officers,  or  to  commanding  officers  of  or  above  the 
rank  of  lieutenant-commander,  "  attention  "  shall  be  sounded  (ex- 
cept where  hereinafter  specified  to  the  contrary)  and  every  one  in 
view  on  deck  shall  stand  at  attention  and  face  toward  the  ship  or 
officer  to  whom   the  honors  are  tendered  until   "  carry   on "   is 
sounded. 
Between  ships     87.  When  ships  of  the  first,  second  and  third  rates    (except 

of  Ar^'jeco*nd'  auxiliaries)  are  passing  each  other  close  aboard,  each  ship  shall 
and  third  rates. 

parade  the  guard  of  the  day  and  band,  and  while  the  latter 
plays  a  bar  of  the  national  air  all  officers  and  men  about  decks 
shall  stand  at  attention,  and  the  guard  shall  present  arms;  the 
hand  salute  by  all  officers  and  men,  other  than  the  guard 
then  paraded,  shall  be  made  at  the  conclusion  of  the  playing 
of  the  national  air.  This  is  a  salute  to  the  national  ensign  and 
takes  precedence  over  all  other  salutes,  and  for  ships  flying  a 
personal  flag  it,  therefore,  supersedes  the  honors  due  a  flag  officer

rendered  under  these  circumstances. 

Close  aboard.  88.  The  words  "  close  aboard  "  shall  be  interpreted  as  meaning 
within  600  yards  for  United  States  ships  passing  each  other,  and 
within  400  yards  for  a  flag  or  commanding  officer  of  or  above  the 
rank  of  lieutenant-commander  of  the  United  States  Navy,  passing 
in  a  boat  with  his  flag  or  pennant  flying.  For  foreign  ships  of

\\.-iy  while  the  side  is  being  piped. 

92.  When  the  guard  is  paraded  as  an  honor  to  any  officer  or      Officers'  «•• 
official,  officers  in  uniform  on  deck  and  in  view  shall  salute  with  lnto>

command  of  their  division  officers,  who  shall  order  them  to  salute

rendered between  vessels  while  they  are  engaged  in  maneuvers  tIj|£t'|"J|{|^e|!"r"

at  anchor  or  underway,  coming  to  anchor  or  getting  underway, 

they  shall  be  considered  as  a  part  of  the  same  formation,  and  as 
engaged  in  maneuvers  or  evolutions,  so  far  as  concerns  exchang- 
ing salutes  to  the  national  ensign  or  rendering  honors  to  a  per- 
sonal flag  hoisted  on  one  of  the  ships  of  the  same  formation. 
In  case  of  a  ship  or  ships  joining  such  formation,  honors  shall 
not  be  rendered  unless  such  ship  or  ships  have  been  or  are  on  de- 
tached duty.  The  term  "  detached  duty  "  in  this  case  does  not 
apply  to  a  ship  or  ships  temporarily  out  of  formation,  but  only 
to  ships  which,  by  order  of  comj)etent  authority,  have  been  in 
some  port  other  than  the  rendezvous  of  the  division,  squadron,  or 
fleet  to  which  they  may  belong;  or  on  duty  which  has  kept  them 
away  from  their  immediate  division,  squadron,  or  fleet  for  a 
period  of  more  than  forty-eight  hours.  A  ship  is  not  considered 
as  on  detached  duty  when  she  leaves  the  formation,  whether 
underway  or  at  anchor,  for  target  practice,  coaling  in  the  imme- 
diate vicinity,  or  for  similar  duty.  Ships  of  divisions  or  squad- 
rons of  the  fleet  getting  underway  or  coming  to  anchor  at  about 
the  same  time,  or  in  obedience  to  the  same  signal,  shall  be  con- 
sidered as  engaged  in  evolutions,  and  no  honors,  other  than  "at- 
tention "  on  the  bugle,  shall  be  rendered  as  they  pass  each  other. 
(Art.  1642,  par.  5.) 

95.  When  all  hands  are  called  in  port  for  getting  underway  or     stations  when 
r< .uiing  to  anchor,  all  men  not  specially  stationed  shall  fall  in  at  KettlnK  under- 
quarters  in  charge  of  their  division  officers.    The  guard  and  band,^"*"*,,™™ 
and,  on  board  the  ship  of  the  senior  officer  present,  the  crews  of 

the  saluting  guns,  shall  form  prepared  to  render  or  return  honors. 

96.  The  sounding  of  "attention"  in  rendering  honors  shall  be     Soundlnv"  at- 
regulated  so  as  not  to  keep  officers  and  crew  ;it  attention  longer tentlom." 
than   is  necessary   to   make   the   salute   effective   and   distinctly 
recognizable;    in  the  case  of  passing  ships,  "attention"  shall  be 

sounded  when  they  are  overlapping ;  that  is,  when  the  jack  staff  of 
one  has  passed  UK-  jarksialT  or  flagstaff  of  the  other,  and  "carry 
on"  when  the  quarter-deck  of  the  passing  vessel  has  passed  the 
quarter-deck  of  the  other,  and  after  due  honors  have  been  ex- 
changed. All  persons  in  sight  shall  stand  at  attention  while 
passing,  and  shall  make  the  hand  salute  at  "carry  on,"  or  at  the 
conclusion  of  the  playing  of  the  national  air.  When  the  guard 
is  paraded,  arms  shall  be  presented  at  the  "attention"  call, 
and  brought  to  the  order  at  "carry  on,"  or  when  the  salute  is 
acknowledged.

NAVAL  ADMINISTRATION  AND  DISCIPLINE. 
SECTION  1. — THE  EXERCISE  OF  AUTHOBITY. 

255.  All  persons  in  the  Navy  are  required  to  obey  readily  and     i>nty  of  sub- 
strictly,    and   to   execute   promptly,   the    lawful   orders   of   their  ordlM»tei<' 
superiors. 

25fl.  Superiors  of  every  grade  are  forbidden  to  injure  those    Exercise  of  an 
under  their  command  by  tyrannical  or  capricious  conduct,  or  by  thorlty. 
abusive  language.  —Authority  over  subordinates  is  to  be  exercised 
with  firmness,  but  with  justice  and  kindness. 

257.  Punishment  shall  be  in  strict  conformity  with  the  laws     Punishments, 
for  the  government  of  the  Navy. 

258.  (1)   In  order  to  avoid  unnecessary  recourse  to  courts  of     inquiry  into 
inquiry  and  general  courts-martial,  it  is  directed  that  where  an  complaints  of 
officer  or  other  person  shall  be  reported  for  grave  misconduct  to  m 

his  immediate  commanding  officer,  the  latter  shall  institute  a 
careful  inquiry  into  the  circumstances  on  which  the  complaint  is 
founded.  He  shall  call  upon  the  complainant  for  a  written  state- 
ment of  the  case,  together  with  a  list  of  his  witnesses,  mentioning 
where  they  may  be  found,  and  a  memorandum  of  any  documentary 
evidence  bearing  upon  the  case  which  may  be  obtainable. 

(2)  He  shall  also  call  upon  the  accused  for  such  counter  state- 
ment or  explanation  as  he  may  wish  to  make,  and  for  a  list  of  the 
persons  he  desires  to  have  questioned  in  his  behalf.    If  the  accused 
does  not  desire  to  submit  a  statement,  that  fact  should  be  set 
forth  in  writing. 

(3)  In  the  infliction  of  punishment  upon  enlisted  men  for  lesser    Minor  offenses, 
offenses,    commanding    officers    of    vessels    and    marine    barracks 

should  in  ordinary  cases  resort  to  the  authority  conferred  upon 
them  by  the  provisions  of  article  24  of  the  Articles  for  the  Gov- 
ernment of  the  Navy,  instead  of  convening  summary  courts- 
martial  for  the  trial  thereof.  The  certainty  of  prompt  punish- 
ment is  more  conducive  to  discipline  than  punishment  deferred 
long  after  the  offense. 

259.  Officers  making  reports  or  complaints  shall  confine  them-     Beports,  corn- 
selves  exclusively  to  facts;  and  statements  submitted  in  reply  to  plaints  etc..  to

and  relate  specifically  to  the  matters  referred  to  therein.    Officers 

to  whom  such  reports  or  complaints  are  submitted  for  statement 
must  not  reply  by  making  counter  charges.  Officers  desiring  to 
prefer  charges  against  others  should  make  them  Independently. 
<  M'inions  must  not  be  expressed,  nor  the  motives  of  others  impugned. 

260.  If,  after  the  investigation  of  a  report  against  an  officer  or    Captain  to  take 
other  i>erson  in  the  Navy,  the  captain  shall  not  deem  the  offense  action  upon  re- 
one  requiring  the  action  either  of  a  court  of  inquiry  or  court-  ^'rytorefT/To 
martial,  he  shall  himself  take  such  action  as  he  may  think  neces- hither  authority, 
sary,  within  the  limits  of  punishment  allowed  him  by  law.

Cases  requir- 
ing trial. 


Further  pro- 
ceedings. 


261.  If,  upon  such  investigation,  the  commanding  officer  shall 
be  satisfied  that  the  charge  is  such  as  to  call  for  judicial  action, 
he  may  place  the  accused  under  suspension  or  in  confinement, 
as  the  case  may  require,  neither   of  which,   however,   shall  be 
considered  as  a  punishment.     He  shall  transmit  to  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  Navy,  through  the  Bureau  of  Navigation,  or,  in  the 
case  of  officers  or  enlisted  men  of  the  Marine  Corps,  through  the 
Commandant  of  the  Marine  Corps,  or  to  the  commander-in-chief 
of  the  fleet  or  squadron,  as  the  case  may  require,  a  particular 
statement  of  the  misconduct  with  which  the  accused  is  charged, 
embracing  such  details  of  the  circumstances  and  of  the  time  and 
place  at  which  they  occurred,  with  lists  of  witnesses  and  statement 
of  the  accused,  as  may  enable  the  convening  authority  to  decide 
upon  the  propriety  and  expediency  of  ordering  a  court,  and  to 
frame  charges  and  specifications,  should  it  be  ordered. 

262.  (1)   Should  the  Secretary  or  commander-in-chief  decide 
that  no  trial  is  to  take  place,  the  accused  shall  be  at  once  released 
and  restored  to  duty.    But  if  it  be  decided  that  the  accused  shall 
be  brought  to  trial,  the  court  shall  be  assembled  for  that  purpose 
as  soon  as  the  nature  of  the  case  and  the  interests  of  the  public 
service  will  allow,  unless,  meanwhile,  such  information  or  expla- 
nation shall  reach  the  convening  authority  as  to  make  it  advisable 
to  withdraw  the  charges  and  restore  the  accused  to  duty. 

(2)  When  a  trial  has  been  decided  upon,  the  accused  shall,  as 
soon  as  practicable,  be  furnished  with  a  copy  of  the  charges  and 
specifications,  and  at  the  same  time  be  placed  formally  under  ar- 
rest for  trial. 

(3)  When  the  trial  of  an  enlisted  man  by  general  court-martial 
is  ordered,  the  judge  advocate  shall  be  furnished  with  all  infor- 
mation available  and  necessary  to  the  prosecution  of  the  case. 

263.  Whenever  an  accusation  is  made  against  an  officer,  either 
nished  with  copy  by  report  or  by  endorsement  upon  a  communication,  a  copy  of  such 

on'      report  or  endorsement  shall  be  furnished  him  at  the  time. 
Temporary  re-     264.  The  captain  of  a  ship  or  other  competent  authority  may 

lease  no  bar  to  release  temporarily  and  put  on  duty  an  officer  under  suspension 

investigation.  Or  or  arrest,  should  an  emergency  of  the  service  or  other  sufficient 
cause  make  such  measure  necessary.  The  order  for  temporary 
release  shall  be  in  writing  and  shall  assign  the  reasons.  Should 
the  officer  be  under  charges,  they  need  not  be  withdrawn ;  and 
such  temporary  release  and  restoration  to  duty  shall  not  be  a  bar 
to  any  subsequent  investigation  or  trial  of  the  case  that  the  con- 
vening authority  may  think  proper  to  order,  nor  to  the  investiga- 
tion of  any  complaint  the  accused  may  make  in  regard  to  the  sus- 
pension or  arrest. 
Charges  not  to  265.  Offenses  shall  not  be  allowed  to  accumulate  in  order 

be  held  back  to  that  sufficient  matter  may  thus  be  collectively  obtained  for  a  trial, 
without  giving  due  notice  to  the  offender ;  and  no  officer  who  has 
been  formally  reprimanded  for  an  offense  shall  be  subsequently 
tried  therefor,  nor  shall  that  offense  be  the  subject  again  of  in- 
quiry, except  when  it  may  be  indispensable  to  prove  a  particular 
habit  charged;  a  private  reprimand,  however,  is  no  bar  to  subse- 
quent investigation  and  trial.  (Op.  Att.  Gen.,  June  15,  1906.) 
Officers  to  sup-  266.  (1)  In  the  event  of  a  riot  or  quarrel  between  persons  be- 

press  quarrels,  longing  to  the  Navy,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  senior  line  officer 
present  to  suppress  the  disturbance,  and,  if  necesssary,  to  arrest 
those  engaged  in  it  even  though  they  be  his  superiors  in  rank ; 
and  all  persons  belonging  to  the  Navy  who  may  be  present  shall

render  prompt  assistance  and  obedience  to  the  officer  thus  en- 
gaged in  the  restoration  of  order. 

(2)  Should  there  be  no  line  officer  present,  the  senior  officer 
of  the  Navy  or  of  the  Marine  Corps,  who  may  be  present,  shall 
exercise  the  same  authority  and  be  entitled  to  the  same  obedience.

of  the  ship  to  which  before  his  suspension  or  arrest  he  had  a 

right,  except  the  quarter-deck,  poop,  and  bridges,  unless  such 
confinement  or  restraint  shall  be  necessary  for  the  safety  of  the 
ship  or  the  preservation  of  good  order  and  discipline;  but  neither 
shall  be  imposed  for  a  longer  time  than  absolutely  necessary. 

269.  (1)   Whenever  a  commanding  officer  orders  a  pay  officer     Arrest  or  BUS-

tried.  than  ten  days  to  await  trial  by  court-martial,  the  captain  shall 

keep  in  view  the  fact  that  this  confinement  is  protracted  simply  to 
insure  the  appearance  of  the  prisoner  before  the  court  by  which  he

any  such  representative,  to  the  highest  local  official,  in  order  to 
inform  himself. 

Relations  with  337.  (i)  He  shall  presei've,  so  far  as  possible,  the  most  cordial 
relations  with  the  diplomatic  and  consular  representatives  of  the 
United  States  in  foreign  countries  and  extend  to  them  the  honors, 
salutes,  and  other  official  courtesies  to  which  they  are  entitled 
by  these  regulations. 

To  consider  (2)  He  shall  carefully  and  duly  consider  any  request  for  service 
their  requests.  Qr  o^er  communication  from  any  such  representative. 

Responsibility.  (3)  Although  due  weight  should  be  given  to  the  opinions  and  ad- 
vice of  such  representatives,  a  commanding  officer  is  solely  and 
entirely  responsible  to  his  own  immediate  superior  for  all  official 
acts  in  the  administration  of  his  command. 

338.  He  will,  as  a  general  rule,  when  in  foreign  ports,  commu- 
nicate with  local  civil  officials  and  foreign  diplomatic  and  consular 
authorities  through  the  diplomatic  or  consular  representative  of 
the  United  States  on  the  spot. 

339.  In  the  absence  of  a  diplomatic  or  consular  officer  of  the 
United  States  at  a  foreign  port  he  has  authority— 

(a)  To  exercise  the  powers  of  a  consul  in  relation  to  mariners 
Qf  tm?  United  gtates  (see.  1433)  R.  S.)  ; 

(6)  To  communicate  or  remonstrate  with  foreign  civil  authori- 
ties as  may  be  necessary ; 

(c)  To  urge  upon  citizens  of  the  United  States  the  necessity  of 
abstaining  from  participation  in  political  controversies  or  viola- 
tions of  the  laws  of  neutrality. 

^40.  (1)  He  shall  exercise  great  care  that  all  under  his  com- 
mand  scrupulously  respect  the  territorial  authority  of  foreign 
civilized  nations  in  amity  with  the  United  States. 

>'o  armed  force  (2)  No  armed  force  for  exercise,  target  practice,  funeral  escort, 
or  other  purposes  shall  be  landed  without  permission  from  the 
local  authorities ;  nor  shall  large  bodies  of  men  be  granted  leave 
to  visit  the  shore  without  a  similar  permission ;  nor  shall  men  be 
landed  to  capture  deserters. 

(3)   Great-gun  target  practice,  even  at  floating  targets,  shall  not 
practice  without  take  place  within  foreign  territorial  waters  or  at  any  point  from 
which  shots  may  fall  therein,  without  permission. 

341.  On  occasions  where  injury  to  the  United   States  or  to 
citizens  thereof  is  committed  or  threatened,  in  violation  of  the 
principles  of  international  law  or  treaty  rights,  he  shall  consult 
with  the  diplomatic  representative  or  consul  of  the  United  States, 
and  take  such  steps  as  the  gravity  of  the  case  demands,  reporting 
immediately  to  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy  all  the  facts.     The  re- 
sponsibility for  any  action  taken  by  a  naval  force,  however,  rests 
wholly  upon  the  commanding  officer  thereof. 

342.  The  use  of  force  against  a  foreign  and  friendly  state,  or 
against  anyone  within  the  territories  thereof,  is  illegal.    The  right 
of  self-preservation,  however,  is  a  right  which  belongs  to  states  as 
well  as  to  individuals,  and  in  the  case  of  states  it  includes  the  pro- 
tection of  the  state,  its  honor,  and  its  possessions,  and  the  lives 
and  property  of  its  citizens  against  arbitrary  A'iolence,  actual  or 
impending,  whereby  the  state  or  its  citizens  may  suffer  irreparable 
injury.    The  conditions  calling  for  the  application  of  the  right  of 
self-preservation  can  not  be  defined  beforehand,  but  must  be  left 
to  the  sound  judgment  of  responsible  officers,  who  are  to  perform 
their  duties  in  this  respect  with  all  possible  care  and  forbearance. 
In  no  case  shall  force  be  exercised  in  time  of  peace  otherwise  than

as  an  application  of  the  right  of  self-preservation  as  above  defined. 
It  must  be  used  only  as  a  last  resort,  and  then  only  to  the  extent 
which  is  absolutely  necessary  to  accomplish  the  end  required.  It 
can  never  be  exercised  with  a  view  to  inflicting  punishment  for 
acts  already  committed. 

343.  Whenever,  in  the  application  of  the  above-mentioned  prin-     Landing  «n 
ciples,  it  shall  become  necessary  to  land  an  armed  force  in  foreign  f 
territory  on  occasions  of  political  disturbance  where  the  local  an-  tory. 
thorities  are  unable  to  give  adequate  protection  to  life  and  prop- 
erty, the  assent  of  such  authorities,  or  of  some  one  of  them,  shall 

first  be  obtained,  if  it  can  be  done  without  prejudice  to  the  in- 
terests involved. 

344.  The  right  of  asylum  for  political  or  other  refugees  has  no     Granting  of 
foundation  in  international  law.    In  countries,  however,  where  f re-  as) um' 
quent  insurrections  occur,  and  constant  instability  of  government 

exists,  usage  sanctions  the  granting  of  asylum;  but  even  in  the 
waters  of  such  countries,  officers  should  refuse  all  applications 
for  asylum  except  when  required  by  the  interests  of  humanity  in 
extreme  or  exceptional  cases,  such  as  the  pursuit  of  a  refugee  by 
a  mob.  Officers  must  not  directly  nor  indirectly  invite  refugees 
to  accept  asylum. 

345.  So  far  as  lies  within  their   power,   commanders-in-chief     To  protect  the 
and  captains  of  ships  shall  protect  all  merchant  vessels  of  the  £°l?.ni^ITt  ?fthe

Lnited  States  in  lawful  occupations,  and  advance  the  commercial 
interests  of  this  country,  always  acting  in  accordance  with  inter- 
national law  and  treaty  obligations. 

346.  He  shall  impress  upon  officers  and  men  that  when  in  for-      i>ealin«rs  with 
eign  ports  it  is  their  duty  to  avoid  all  possible  causes  of  offense  to  forelgners' 
the  authorities  or  inhabitants;  that  due  deference  must  be  shown 

by  them  to  the  local  laws,  customs,  ceremonies,  and  regulations; 
that  in  all  dealings  with  foreigners  moderation  and  courtesy  should 
be  displayed,  and  that  a  feeling  of  good  will  and  mutual  respect 
should  be  cultivated.

349.  He  shall  require  captains  to  keep  him  fully  informed  as  to     Captains  to  ro- 
the  stores  and  supplies  needed  by  the  ships  under  their  command, '"H"^1'^  ^

Accounts  once  in  six  months,  or  oftener  if  necessary,  for  stores  gt^m. 
pertaining  to  that  bureau.     He  shall  at  the  same  time  state  to 

what  point  such  supplies  should  be  shipped  in  each  case.  He  shall 
cause  requisitions  for  supplies  under  cognizance  of  other  bureaus 
to  be  made  to  fill  anticipated  wants  when  he  deems  it  for  the  best 
interests  of  his  command  to  do  so,  but  such  requisitions  must  con- 
form in  all  respects  to  the  requirements  of  article  1208,  and  when 
the  supplies  are  not  to  be  purchased  on  the  station,  they  shall  be 
forwarded  to  the  bureau  concerned,  from  whence  they  shall  be 
transmitted  to  the  Paymaster  General  for  fulfillment.

vith  the  information  required  by  article  1330,  paragraph  e. 

(2)  He  shall  furnish  the  ships  of  his  command  with  supplies  of

of  his  command.  His  importance  is  lessened  by  engaging  in  the 
details  of  duty  of  this  particular  ship,  and  the  respect  which  ought 
to  attach  to  her  captain  is  weakened  by  any  interference  with  him 
in  the  proper  exercise  of  his  authority.

hold  acting  appointments,  before  being  given  permanent  appoint- 
ments.    Any  portion  of  the  probationary  period  otherwise  em- 
ployed shall  not  be  computed  as  service  under  acting  appointment. 
This  provision  shall  not  apply,  however,  to  petty  officers  who  are 
permanently  serving  at  naval  stations,  or  who  belong  to  the  per- 
manent crew  of  a  receiving  ship  and  regularly  perform  duty  as

ferred to  a  hospital  for  treatment  shall  not  receive  credit  for 
probationary  service  for  the  time  he  is  in  such  hospital.    In  like 
manner,  rated  men  of  the  messman  branch  must  perform  duties 
which  will  indicate  their  qualifications  for  advancement  in  that 
branch,  and  when  considered  qualified  a  notation  shall  be  made

tude, physical  or  mental  disability,  unfltness,  by  sentence  of  court- 
martial,  or  by  purchase.     In  every  case  the  recommendation  for 
such  discharge  must  be  made  by  the  immediate  commanding  officer 
under  whom  the  man  may  be  serving.    Applications  for  discharges 
which  reach  the  Department  in  any  way  except  through  said  com- 
manding officers  shall  be,  without  exception,  disregarded. 

(3)  Any  person  discharged  during  the  first  six  months  of  a  first 
enlistment  for  any  cause  other  than  disability  incurred  in  the  line 
of  duty  shall  have  checked  against  his  accounts  prior  to  discharge 
the  cost  of  such  portion  of  the  outfit  allowed  on  first  enlistment 
as  he  may  have  drawn. 

(4)  In  time  of  peace  any  man,  serving  in  his  first  enlistment, 
who  is  not  undergoing  punishment  or  under  charges,  and  is  not  in 
debt  to  the  Government,  may  after  one  year  from  the  date  of  his 
enlistment  apply  for  the  privilege  of  purchasing  his  discharge.    A

channels,  giving  his  reasons  in  full,  and  shall  state  that  he  waives 
all  claims  for  trausjwrtation  at  government  expense  to  his  home 
or  the  place  of  his  enlistment,  if  discharged  as  requested.    In  gen- 
eral, no  reasons  will  be  considered  as  sufficient  to  warrant  dis- 
charge unless  it  can  be  shown  conclusively  that  they  did  not  exist 
prior  to  enlistment.

connection  therewith  that  a  state  of  destitution  exists,  that  he  has 
to  the  extent  of  his  opportunities  and  ability  made  contributions  to 
the  support  of  such  relative,  but  that  these  contributions  have 
proved  insufficient  to  relieve  the  destitution,  such  part  of  the  pur- 
chase price  of  discharge  (other  than  the  price  of  the  outfit  fur- 
nished on  enlistment)   may  be  remitted  as  may  seem  proper  and 
necessary  by  reason  of  the  inability  of  the  enlisted  man  to  pay  the 
full  amount. 

(7)  The  commanding  officer  shall   make  careful   inquiry   Into 
the  merits  of  each  application  for  discharge  by  purchase  and,  in

shall  have  it  supplied  or  remedied  and  another  trial  made  until 
the  condition  of  the  machinery  is  reported  satisfactory. 

(3)  The  senior  engineer  officers  of  the  yard  and  ship  shall  then 
make  a  joint  report  to  the  commandant,  to  be  forwarded  to  the 
Navy  Department,  that  they  have  personally  examined  the  ma- 
chinery of  the  ship  and  tested  it  by  working,  and  that  it  is  in  all 
respects  complete  according  to  its  design  and  in  proper  order  for 
a  cruise. 

(4)  This  report  shall  show  that  the  interiors  of  all  boilers  have 
been  examined  both  by  the  senior  engineer  officer  of  the  yard,  or 
his  representative,  and  the  senior  engineer  officer  of  the  ship;  that 
the  condition  of  the  plates,  tubes,  drums,  and  bracings  is  satis- 
factory, and  that  the  boilers  are  tight  and  clean  inside  and  out. 
The  maximum  steam  pressure  with  which  they  can  be  worked 
shall  also  be  stated. 

(5)  They  shall  j>ersonally  examine  the  surface  condenser  and 
ascertain  if  the  tubes  and  tube  plates  are  in  good  condition  and 
free  from  leakage,  and  shall  state  whether  the  cylinders  and  their 
valves  are  in  satisfactory  condition. 

(6)  They  shall  report  whether  the  apparatus  for  extinguishing 
fires  and  for  pumping  out  the  bilge  and  boilers  are  satisfactory  as 
to  condition  and  quantity,  and  shall  give  particular  attention  to 
the  feed  and  bilge  pumps  attached  to  the  auxiliary  as  well  as  to 
the  main  engines. 

(7)  The  report  shall  also  state  that  the  proj>er  amount  of  spare 
pieces,  tools,  instruments,  and  stores  are  on  board. 

(8)  The  senior  engineer  officer  of  the  ship  shall  put  a  copy  of 
the  joint  re[>ort  in  his  remark  book.     (Art.  882.) 

894.  (1)   Steam  trials  of  ships  in  commission  shall  be  made     Fnii-powir 
under  full  power,  with  natural  draft,  twice  a  year  at  intervals  of  ^J'u*r",  jj,*(> 
not  less  than  four  nor  more  than  eight  months,  and  shall  take 

place  in  smooth  water  with  the  ship's  bottom  comparatively  clean.

Duration.  (2)   They  shall  last  from  six  to  twelve  hours,  preferably  as  near 

the  latter  as  possible,  if  the  power  can  be  maintained  by  the  en- 
gineer force  divided  in  two  sections. 

Details.  (3)  ^ne  engines  shall  be  worked  so  as  to  use  all  the  steam 

made  by  the  boilers,  the  pressure  being  maintained  as  near  the 
designed  working  pressure  as  practicable,  and  the  speed  regulated 
by  linking  up  with  the  throttle  wide  open.  The  speed  shall  be 
gradually  increased  up  to  the  maximum  attainable  under  the  con- 
ditions imposed. 

Monthly  trials.  (4)  iu  order  to  familiarize  the  engineer  force  with  working  the 
boilers  and  machinery  under  forced  draft,  there  shall  be  made 
monthly,  if  at  sea,  a  run  of  from  four  to  six  hours  under  an  air 
pressure  of  not  more  than  three-fourths  inch  of  water,  using  only 
such  boilers  as  are  in  use  at  the  time  the  trial  is  ordered. 

Forced  draft.  (5)  When  the  men.  of  the  engineer  force  have  had  sufficient 
experience  with  the  boilers  and  machinery  of  a  vessel  to  enable 
them  to  work  the.  boilers  to  advantage  under  forced  draft,  the 
twelve  hours'  trial  provided  for  in  paragraph  1  shall  include  a 
period  of  four  hours  under  forced  draft  with  an  air  pressure  not 
exceeding  one  inch  of  water,  or  the  maximum  designed  air  pres- 
sure if  this  latter  is  less  than  "one  inch.  This  limitation  of  air 
pressure  shall  not  apply,  however,  to  vessels  having  water-tube 
boilers. 
to  take  (3)  The  firgt  trial  gua]j  |ake  p]ace  as  goon  ag  practicable  after 

a  ship  which  has  just  been  commissioned  or  extensively  repaired 
is  reported  by  the  commandant  of  a  navy  yard  ready  in  all  re- 
spects for  general  service.  This  trial  shall  be  witnessed  and 
reported  upon  by  the  Board  of  Inspection  and  Survey.  Advantage 
shall,  if  possible,  be  taken  when  making  passages  from  port  to 
port,  at  times  favorable  for  such  purposes,  to  conduct  the  other 
full-power  trials  required,  and  they  shall  begin  as  soon  as  practi- 
cable after  leaving  port. 
Watches  dnr-  (7)  The  engine  and  fire  room  watches  shall  be  so  arranged,  if 

ing  trials.  possible,  that  every  man  will  be  on  duty  for  a  portion  of  the  time 

whenever  forced  draft  is  used  on  these  trials. 

Salt  feed.  (g)    Salt  water  shall  not  be  fed  into  the  boilers  during  any  of 

these  trials  if  it  can  be  avoided.    To  this  end,  the  water  in  the 
boilers  will  be  at  the  highest  steaming  level  when  a  trial  begins, 
and  the  evaporators  will  be  run  to  make  up  the  extra  feed  re- 
quired. 
When    post-      (9)   if  in  the  opinion  of  the  captain  and  senior  engineer  officer 

poncd.  j.ne  con(jitjOn  Of  the  machinery  or  boilers  is  such  that  either  may 

be  disabled  entirely  by  a  full-power  trial,  it  may,  with  the  ap- 
proval of  the  senior  officer  present,  be  postponed  until  the  circum- 
stances can  be  reported  to  the  Department  and  a  reply  received. 
Endurance      895.   (1)  The  captain  shall,  from  the  beginning  of  the  cruise, 

trials,  take  every  opportunity  when  steaming  to  ascertain  («)  the  great- 

est distance  that  can  be  run  per  ton  of  coal  in  smooth  water; 
(6)  the  greatest  distance  that  can  be  run  per  ton  of  coal  under 
varying  circumstances  of  wind,  sea,  and  condition  of  ship's  bottom. 
When  determined,  these  results  shall  be  reported  to  the  Navy 
Department. 
Trials,  how  (2)  In  general  these  trials  shall  be  as  follows :  Runs  of  not  less 

run<  than  twenty-four  hours  each  shall  be  made,  at  decrements  of  two 

knots,  as  nearly  as  possible,  from  the  speed  at  full  power.  When 
the  most  economical  rate  of  speed  in  smooth  water  has  been  ap- 
proximately determined,  other  runs  may  be  made  to  determine  it 


CHAP.  XIX.]  TRIALS   OF    MACHINERY.  209 

more  carefully.  The  data  from  other  runs  shall  be  used  to  verify 
the  computations.  Having  fixed  upon  the  greatest  distance  that 
can  be  run  per  ton  of  coal  in  smooth  water,  with  a  comparatively 
clean  bottom,  trials  to  ascertain  what  modifications  are  necessary 
under  varying  circumstances  of  wind  and  sea,  also  with  a  moder- 
ately foul  and  very  foul  bottom,  and  with  a  light,  medium,  and 
deep  draft,  shall  be  made  as  opportunities  occur.  Trials  with  a 
single  screw,  in  ships  fitted  with  more  than  one,  shall  also  be 
made,  the  helm  angle  necessary  to  keep  the  ship  steady  being 
noted  and  reported.  In  all  these  trials  the  boilers  and  other  ap- 
purtenances  shall  be  operated  in  the  most  economical  manner  pos- 
sible in  rrgard  to  the  consumption  of  fuel. 

896.  (1)   The  result  of  all  steam  trials  shall   be  reported  by     steam  trials  in 
the  captain  to  the  Navy  Department,  with  all  the  attending  cir-  general.

age indicated  horsepower  developed  by  the  main  and  by  the  auxil- 
iary engines,  the  consumption  of  coal  per  hour,  the  distance  run 
per  ton  of  coal,  the  pounds  of  coal  consumed  per  mile,  and  the 
speed  of  the  ship  with  all  corrections  applied.  The  number  of 
auxiliaries  in  use  at  the  time  shall  be  stated.  The  speed  shall  be 
determined  by  as  many  different  methods  as  possible,  which  will 
be  described.  The  captain  shall  state  in  his  report  on  the  first 
full-power  trial  whether  or  not  the  machinery  is  in  a  satisfactory 
condition;  if  not,  all  defects  and  deficiencies  shall  be  fully  de- 
scribed. 

(2)  During  all  steam  trials,  the  following  rules  shall  be  ob-     Data,    how 
served   in   regard  to  procuring  data  to  be  forwarded   with  the  procured, 
report :  The  main  engines  shall  be  indicated  every  half-hour,  and 

the  auxiliary  engines  in  operation  every  hour,  unless  the  power 
of  the  latter  has  previously  been  determined  under  similar  con- 
ditions; the  horsepower  of  auxiliary  engines  not  fitted  for  indi- 
cators shall  be  estimated ;  half-hour  observations  of  the  data  re- 
quired by  the  steam  log  shall  also  be  taken.  If  the  observations 
cannot  be  taken  as  frequently  as  above  required,  the  intervals 
may  be  doubled.  During  all  trials  the  steam  pressure,  vacuum, 
number  of  revolutions,  and  all  variables  shall  be  kept  as  uniform 
;is  possible. 

(3)  Care  must  be  taken  in  weighing  or  measuring  the  coal  and 
that  the  fires  are  in  the  same  condition  at  the  end  of  the  trial  as 
at  the  beginning.     The  kind  and  quality  of  coal  shall  be  specifically 
stated. 

(4)  No  full-speed  trial   shall  take  place  in  less  than  sixteen 
fathoms  of  water;  depth  of  water  shall  be  reported. 

(">)    During  all  trials  herein  referred  to,  the  coal  as  it  runs  from      coal  to  to 
the  bunkers  shall  be  used.     It  shall  not  be  hand  picked.     During  »»'d- 
all  full-power  trials  any  assistance  necessary  to  provide  sufficient 
fuel    in   the  fire  room   shall   be  rendered  by  the  deck  force,  the 
amount  of  such  assistance  being  mentioned  in  the  report  of  the 
trials. 

(6)  In  making  full-power  trials,  the  speed  of  the  engines  shall 
l>o  gradually  increased,  working  for  a  time  at  about  three-quarters

steam  of  full  pressure  is  admitted  to  them.  The  greatest  care 
must  be  exercised  that  "  water  rams "  are  guarded  against  by 
carefully  draining  all  pipes  while  raising  steam. 

(2)  Water  must  not  be  allowed  to  accumulate  in  the  jackets 
or  receivers,   but  care  shall  be  taken  that  steam  is  not  blown 
through  the  traps. 

(3)  Every  opportunity  shall  be  used  to  ascertain  the  proper- 
grades  of  expansion  in  each  cylinder  for  different  powers;  the 
powers  developed  in  each  cylinder  should  be  equal,  or  nearly  so, 
and  when  the  proper  points  are  ascertained  a  careful  record  must 
be  made  in  the  senior  engineer  officer's  remark  book  for  reference 
when  changes  in  speed  or  power  are  required. 

(4)  The  indicators  shall  not  be  allowed  to  remain  attached  to 
the  cylinder  when  not  wanted  for  immediate  use;  they  shall  be 
dried,  cleaned,  and  lightly  lubricated  with  cylinder  oil  before  be- 
ing put  away. 

(5)  No  tallow  nor  oil  of  vegetable  or  animal  origin  shall  be 
used  for  the  lubrication  of  cylinders  and  valves,  but  mineral  oil 
only  shall  be  employed. 

(6)  As  little  oil  as  possible  shall  be  used  for  interior  lubrica- 
tion.    This  prohibition  is  intended  to  apply  to  every  steam  cylin- 
der in  the  ship,  for  whatever  purpose  intended. 

(7)  Care  must  be  taken  that  the  oil  used  for  lubricating  the 
rods  is  not  drawn  into  cylinders  in  which  there  may  be  a  partial 
vacuum. 

(8)  The  cylinders,  piston  rings,  piston  springs,  followers,  and 
follower  bolts  shall  be  frequently  examined  and  their  condition 
noted  in  the  steam  log. 

(9)  All  cocks  and  valves  throughout  the  engineer  department 
sliall  be  moved  at  least  once  twh  week. 

(10)  When  not  under  steam,  the  engines  and  main  valves  are 
to  be  moved  every  day,  when  possible,  and  all  steam  machinery 
jacked  at  frequent  intervals,  the  fact  being  noted  in  the  steam 
log. 

(11)  Zinc  plates  shall  be  suspended  in  the  hot  wells  and  con- 
densers to  prevent  corrosive  action.     The  condition  of  the  zinc  and 
of  the  interior  surfaces  shall  be  frequently  examined  and  noted  in 
the  steam  log. 

(12)  All  holding-down  bolts  shall  be  examined  at  least  once  in 
three  months,  and  care  taken  that  the  nuts  of  pillow-block  bolts 
do  not  become  set  fast.    The  clutch  couplings  shall  be  moved  and 
lubricated  once  a  day  when  not  under  steam. 

(13)  The  gratings  over  the  engine,  room  hatches  are  not  to  be 
taken  off,  except  in  cases  of  necessity,  and  shall  be  replaced  as 
soon  as  possible. 

(14)  The  instruments  fitted  on  board  for  telegraphing  signals 
to  and  from  the  engineer  department  shall  be  carefully  examined, 
oiled,  and  tried  before  getting  under  way. 

(15)  Mineral   oil   causes   rubber   valves  to   swell   and   overlap 
each    other.    All    such    valves    must    be    examined    periodically, 
turned  and  trimmed  to  their  original  size,   if  necessary.     Their 
condition  as  well  as  that  of  the  condensers,  at  each  examination, 
shall  be  noted  in  the  steam  log,  with  all  further  information  that 
may  be  considered  necessary.     Rubber  valves  shall  be  washed  in 
a  solution  of  soda  or  potash.

(16)  As  soon  as  practicable  after  each  run,  the  manhole  plates     Cylinder* 
oil  cylinder  heads  shall  be  removed  and  the  interior  of  cylinder     * 
cleaned  and  covered  with  a  thin  coating  of  oil  or  vaseline. 

898.  (1)   Water  shall  not  be  used  unnecessarily  on  the  bear-     Bearings, 
ings,  and  when  used  care  must  be  taken  that  it  is  discontinued 

a  sufficient  length  of  time  before  the  engines  are  stopped  to  allow 
the  lubricating  oil  to  find  its  way  to  all  parts  of  the  surfaces  of 
the  journals. 

(2)  Bearings  shall  be  examined  at  the  earliest  opportunity  after 
wa.ter  has  been  used  on  them. 

899.  (1)  The  tubes  of  surface  condensers  shall  bo  examined      CoMdeimrn, 
at  least  once  in  six  months  and  kept  clean.     If  not  examined,  tbe •••*•»••••*•»• 
reasons  for  the  omissions  are  to  be  stated  in  the  quarterly  report.01" 

If  any  considerable  amount  of  steaming  lias  been  done,  the  con- 
densers must  be  examined  before  the  expiration  of  the  time 
mentioned. 

(2)  If  at  any  time  the  condenser  tubes  are  found  to  be  lea  king.      Tubes  le»k- 
stei>s  must  be  taken,  as  soon  as  the  engines  are  stopped,  to  prevent  '•*• 

the  passage  of  water  from  the  condensers  to  the  cylinders. 

(3)  Valves  of  sounding  pipes  to  double  bottoms  must  be  kept     Sounding 
closed  when  not  in  use.     The  height  of  the  water  in  the  bilges pip«*. 
shall  be  measured  and  all  bilge  and  crank  pit  strainers  cleaned 

each  watch. 

(4)  Independent  air  and  circulating  pumps  shall  be  started  at      Tumps 
least  fifteen  minutes  before  attempting  to  move  the  engines,  or  to1******1 
warm  the  cylinders  by  means  of  (lie  pass-over  valves. 

(5)  When   tillers  or  grease  extractors  are  titted,  they  must  be      Kilters. 
used  except  when  under  repairs  or  being  cleaned. 

Hi)   The  valves  of  air  and  circulating  pumps  shall  be  examined      v«hri. 
frequently. 

(7)  The  boiler  feed  pumps  shall  not  bo  used  for  other  puritoses     Boiler  feed 
than  those  connected  with  their  s|M>cial  service,  except  in  cases  of  pumps, 
emergency:  and.  when  not  under  steam,  their  pistons  and  valve 

gi-ar  must  be  moved  every  day  and  the  cylinders  kept  well  oiled. 

(8)  The  interiors  of  evaixwators  shall  be  frequently  examined 
and  the  tubes  or  coils  cleaned  and  scaled  when  necessary. 

(9)  When  evaporator  tubes  or  coils  are  made  of  iron  or  steel,     r°lls- 
zinc  plates  shall  be  fitted  for  protectors,  as  in  boilers. 

(10)  When  an  evaporator  will  not  be  required  for  use  for  sev- 
eral days,  the  shell  and  coils  shall  be  drained  and  kept  dry  till 
needed  for  service.

(2)  Zinc  slabs  shall  be  located  in  such  parts  of  the  boilers  as  xinr  sUi 
may  be  directed  by  the  Bureau  of  Steam  Engineering.  The  senior 
engineer  officer,  on  each  inspection  of  the  boilers,  shall  examine 
iliese  i-.incs  and  note  their  condition  in  the  log.  Si>ecial  care  must 
be  taken  to  insure  perfect  metallic  contact  between  the  zincs  and 
the  stays  or  plates  of  the  boiler  by  filing  bright  the  straps  or  lw>lts 
for  holding  the  zinc  plates,  where  these  are  in  contact  with  the 
boiler  material  and  the  zincs.  After  the  zincs  are  secured  in 
place,  the  outside  of  the  joints  shall  l»o  made  water-tight  by

should,  however,  be  removed  at  once  as  inefficient.  Worn  and 
defective  zincs  shall  not  be  recast  for  use  on  board.  Should  it  be 
necessary  to  use  slabs  of  cast  zinc  at  any  time,  good  material  only 
shall  be  used. 

(4)  The  number  of  zinc  slabs  (twelve  by  six  by  one-half  inch) 
required  for  the  thorough  preservation  of  boilers  is  in  the  ratio  of 
100  square  feet  of  heating  surface  to  three-fourths  of  a  square 
foot  of  zinc  surface  (exclusive  of  the  edges  of  the  slabs).     When 
the  number  has  not  otherwise  been  determined  by  the  Bureau  of 
Steam  Engineering,  this  shall  be  the  ratio  used.     This  number  is, 
however,  not  to  prevent  any  change  which  may  appear  necessary 
for  the  arrest  of  oxidation.     In  cylindrical  boilers,  about  one-sixth 
of  the  number  of  zincs  shall  be  put  in  the  steam  space. 

(5)  NQ  tallow  nor  oil  of  vegetable  or  animal  origin  shall  be  al- 
lowed to  enter  the  boilers.    This  prohibition  applies  to  all  boilers 
in  use  aboard  ship  of  whatever  type  or  service. 

(6)  The  dry  pipes  and  drains  of  the  steam  drums  are  to  be  ex- 
amined frequently  to  ascertain  if  the  holes  in  them  are  clear. 

(7)  The  boilers,  when  empty,  are  to  be  kept  dry  by  such  means 
as  are  at  the  disposal  of  the  officer  in  charge.    The  water  bottoms 
and  lower  part  of  the  fronts  are  to  be  kept  free  from  scale  and 
rust  and  contact  with  ashes,  and  well  painted. 

(8)  Boilers  which  ai-e  not  in  use  shall,  when  possible,  be  kept 
full  of  fresh  water  made  slightly  alkaline,  and  failing  this,  full  of 
salt  water  made  slightly  alkaline. 

(9)  When  water  is  used  from  a  boiler,  the  water  line  must  not 
be  maintained  at  a  level  among  the  tubes. 

(10)  When  boilers  are  empty,  the  furnaces  shall  not  be  primed. 

(11)  The  main  and  auxiliary  stop  valves,  safety,  check,  and 
blow  valves,  and  any  other  valve  or  cock  by  which  steam  or  hot 
water  could  enter  the  boilers  in  which  men  are  at  work,  shall  be 
shut  and  secured  so  that  they  can  not  accidentally  open  or  be 
opened.    The  engineer  officer  having  the  day's  duty  shall  see  that 
these  precautions  are  carried  out  before  he  allows  any  men  to 
enter  the  boilers. 

(12)  The  safety  valves  shall  be  partially  lifted  by  the  hand  gear 
at  least  once  each  week  when  not  under  steam,  to  insure  their  good 
working  order.     There  shall  also  be  a  weekly  test  of  the  safety 
valves  of  boilers  that  are  under  steam,  and  for  this  purpose  the 
pressure  on  boilers  under  which  fires  are  lighted  shall  be  gradu- 
ally raised  to  the  point  at  which  the  safety  valves  are  set  and  then 
reduced  to  the  pressure  required  for  immediate  needs.    If  a  safety 
valve  does  not  lift  when  the  steam  is  raised  to  the  necessary

part  of  the  boilers  or  bulkheads;  boards  or  heavy  canvas  must 
be  used  to  protect  the  metal  surfaces. 

Coal.  (30)  Coal  must  not  be  stowed  in  the  fire  rooms  in  such  quanti- 

ties as  to  cover  up  the  handles  or  wheels  of  valves,  or  to  get 
into  the  bilges,  thus  choking  up  suctions  and  strainers  and  en- 
dangering the  safety  of  the  ship. 

Bulkheads.  (31)  The  thin  sheet-iron  bulkheads  or  air  ducts  of  the  forced- 

draft  system  must  be  kept  free  from  ashes  and  rust  and  well 
painted. 

Acidity  of  wa-      901.   (1)   In  order  to  determine  its  acidity,  neutrality,  or  alka- 
ter-  linity,  the  water  in  each  boiler  shall  be  tested  with  both  kinds 

of  litmus  paper  at  least  once  a  day  when  under  steam,  and  once 
a  week  when  the  fires  are  not  lighted.  In  ships  provided  with  a 
special  water-testing  outfit,  the  litmus  paper  tests  need  not  be 
made. 

(2)  If  the  water  in  the  boilers,  on  applying  litmus  paper,  be  in 
an  acid  condition,  a  small  quantity  of  soda  shall  be  put  into  the 
condensers  or  hot  wells,  from  which  it  will  be  pumped  into  the 
boilers  with  the  feed  water.  If  the  water  in  any  one  boiler  shows 
acid  properties,  a  solution  of  soda  shall  be  injected  into  that  boiler. 
Only  the  smallest  quantity  of  soda  possible  to  accomplish  the  pur- 
pose shall  be  used. 

Banked  fires.  902.  (1)  Heavy  banked  fires  should  never  be  kept  except  in 
emergencies;  in  such  cases  ash-pan  doors  shall  not  be  put  in  place. 

interpretation      (2)   The  order  "bank  fires"  for  ships  having  tubulous  boilers 
of  "  imnk  fires."  shall  be  interpreted  as  follows: 

(a)  When  the  engines  are  not  to  be  used  for  twenty-four  hours 
or  more  "  Let  all  fires  die  out,  except  those  needed  for  auxiliary 
purposes." 

(It)  When  the  engines  are  to  be  used  inside  of  twenty-four 
hours  "  Keep  light-spread  fires." 

Hydraulic  test.  903.  (1)  The  boilers  of  all  vessels  in  commission  shall  be 
tested  by  water  pressure  at  such  times  as  the  senior  engineer 
officer  may  deem  necessary  or  advisable. 

(2)  The  test  water  pressure  applied  to  boilers  shall  not  exceed 
the  designed  working  pressure  plus  twenty-five  per  cent  of  same, 
when  the  boilers  have  been  in  service  longer  than  two  years. 

(3)  During  the  application  of  water  pressure,  the  boilers  shall 
be  carefully   examined   and   proper  gauges   used,   to  detect  any 
change  in  the  form  of  any  of  their  parts. 

(4)  In  applying  water  pressure,  care  must  be  taken  that  there  is 
no  leak  past  the  main  or  auxiliary  stop  valves. 

(5)  Should  a  drill  test  (art.  906)  be  made  and  reveal  unusual 
thinness  of  any  plates,  the  water  pressure  shall  be  very  carefully 
applied,  in  order  that  injury  may  not  be  caused  by  overpressure. 

Boiler  tests  to  904.  The  following  particulars  of  the  results  of  boiler  tests 
be  recorded.  shall  be  entered  in  the  steam  log  and  the  senior  engineer  officer's 
remark  book:  The  greatest  pressure  applied;  the  load  per  square 
inch  on  safety  valves  previous  to  the  test  and  when  boilers  were 
first  used;  the  date  of  last  repair;  the  length  of  service  for  which 
the  boilers  were  repaired ;  the  effect  of  the  test  on  the  plates  and 
stays  of  furnaces,  combustion  chambers,  and  shell,  and  on  the  tube 
sheets;  the  estimated  durability  of  the  boilers  with  such  repairs 
as  can  be  made  by  the  force  on  board;  and  such  additional  in- 
formation as  may  be  considered  necessary  to  enable  a  more  com- 
plete estimate  to  be  formed  of  the  condition  of  the  boilers.

905.  (1)  The  boilers  shall  be  thoroughly  examined  at  regular     Periodic*!  ex- 
intervals  of  about  three  months;  other  examinations  being  made  aminations. 

as  opportunity  offers  and  as  the  senior  engineer  officer  may  con- 
sider necessary.  A  detailed  description  of  the  condition  of  each 
boiler  at  each  of  these  examinations  shall  be  entered  in  the  steam 
log  and  the  senior  engineer  officer's  remark  book. 

(2)  If  anything  should  occur  to  prevent  these  periodical  ex- 
aminations, the  cause  shall  be  fully  stated  in  the  steam  log. 

906.  When,  during  the  periodical  examinations  of  boilers,  the 
senior  engineer  has  reason  to  believe  that  any  part  or  parts  of  the 
boiler  are  unduly  worn  or  corroded,  he  shall  cause  them  to  he 
tested  by  drilling,  the  holes  to  be  not  over  one-half  inch  in  diam- 
eter.    The  thickness  of  the  plates  originally  and  when  drill  tested, 
the  probable  cause  of  corrosion  or  wear,  and  all  other  details  of 
the  test  shall  be  entered  in  the  steam  log  and  senior  engineer  of- 
ficer's remark  book. 

907.  Full  information  shall  be  not«-d  in  the  steam  log  of  the 
kind,  quality,  steaming  power,  and  other  particulars  of  the  coal 
m-eived.     Tin-  statement  that,  the  coal  is  bituminous  or  anthra- 
cite shall  not  be  used  except  when  it  is  impossible  to  obtain  any 
further  information  of  the  coal  received,  in  which  case  a  special 
note  of  the  fact  shall  be  entered  in  the  steam  log. 

908.  (1)  All  paint  work  about  the  engineer  department  shall, 
if  practicable,  be  white. 

(2)  Should  red  lead  be  used  at  any  time  for  painting  the  double 
bottoms  or  other  confined  spaces  in  the  engineer  department,  the 
senior  engineer  officer  shall  see  that  proper  precautions  are  taken 
to  safeguard  the  health  of  the  men.  Two  days  is  the  maximum 
length  of  time  that  a  man  should  be  kept  at  this  work. 

909.  Cotton-waste  or  any  other  materials  used  for  wiping,  and 
which  are  saturated  with  oil,  shall  be  destroyed  immediately  after 
using  or,  if  intended  for  starting  fires,  shall  be  put  in  a  covered 
iron  receptacle,  and  the  latter  kept  in  a  safe  place. 

910.  (1)  All  chocks  and  ties  fitted  to  cylinders,  boilers,  and 
other  parts  of  the  machinery,  to  prevent  their  shifting  from  the 
effects  of  collision,  shall  he  kept  at  all  times  in  an  efficient  condi- 
tion, and  shall  be  examined  at  least  once  each  quarter  and  their 
condition  noted  in  the  steam  log. 

(2)  Before  going  into  action,  all  articles  which  might  be  dis- 
placed by  a  collision  shall  be  secured,  or  so  disposed  that  no  injury 
can  be  done  to  the  machinery  or  to  any  person   in  the  engineer 
department. 

(3)  When  intending  to  ram,  or  likely  to  be  rammed,  notice  shall 
be    given    from   deck    to   the  engineer   officer   of   the   watch,   by 
any  prompt  method  of  signaling,  so  that  men,  tools,  etc.,  may  not 
be  thrown  down  or  against  moving  parts  of  the  machinery. 

(4)  To  prevent  the  passage  of  water  from  the  boilers  into  the 
engines  when   the  collision   takes  place,   the  separator   shall  be 
emptied  and  its  blow-off  cock  opened  to  the  sea  just  before  the 
shuck  is  expected.     The  cock  may  also  be  allowed  to  remain  open 
until  the  engines  are  safely  reversed. 

(.",)  A  man  shall  be  stationed  at  each  of  the  main  stop  valves 
to  shut  off  any  or  all  of  the  boilers  should  it  become  necessary, 
and  in  order  to  facilitate  this  the  valves  shall  be  screwed  down  as 
far  as  imssible  without  reducing  the  steam  required  by  the  engines.

216  ENGINEERING   INSTRUCTIONS.  [CHAP.  XIX. 

(6)  In  ramming,  being  rammed,  and  generally  in  cases  of  col- 
lision, the  men  shall  go  to  their  stations  for  starting  all  bilge 
pumps,  bilge  injectors,  and  other  means  provided  for  freeing  the 
ship  of  water  in  case  of  dangerous  leakage. 

Steam  launches.  911.  (1)  The  preceding  instructions  ir:  this  section  shall,  as 
far  as  applicable,  also  govern  the  mauageJ$eut,  care,  and  preser- 
vaton  of  the  machinery  of  the  steam  launches. 

(2)  The  safety  valves  of  the  boilers  of  steam  launches  shall  be 
examined  whenever  steam  is  raised  after  an  interval  of  more  than 
seven  days  not  under  steam.    The  condition  of  the  safety  A-alves, 
water  gauges,  check  valves,  etc.,  shall  be  ascertained  from  time  to 
time  while  the  machinery  is  working.    Great  care  shall  be  taken  to 
keep  these  important  fittings  in  a  thoroughly  efficient  condition. 

(3)  Salt   water    shall    not   be   used    in    the   boilers   of   steam 
launches  except  in  cases  of  great  emergency,  and  after  its  use  the 
boilers  shall  be  scaled  and  cleaned  as  soon  as  possible. 

(4)  Unless  it  is  expected  that  the  machinery  of  steam  launches 
will  be  used  again  in  a  few  days,  the  wearing  surfaces  of  cylinders 
and  valve  chests  shall  be  cleaned  and  lightly  coated  with  min- 
eral oil,  and  the  engines  made  ready  for  use.     All  drain  cocks 
shall  be  kept  open  and  the  engines,  valves,  pumps,  etc.,  moved 
every  day. 

(5)  Strainers  on   sea-valve   openings   of   steam    launches   shall 
be  kept  clear,  and  receiving  pipes  of  circulating  and  air  pumps 
examined  and  cleaned  annually,  or  more  frequently,  if  necessary. 

(6)  The  boilers  of  steam  launches  shall  be  frequently  examined, 
internally  and  externally.     Special  attention  shall  be  paid  to  the 
furnace. 

Torpedo  boats.  912.  (1)  In  consequence  of  the  lightness  of  construction  and 
the  high  speeds  at  which  torpedo  boat  engines  run,  increased  care 
is  necessary  in  attending  to  and  adjusting  the  various  working 
parts.  Mineral  oil  only  shall  be  used  in  the  cylinders,  and  that 
sparingly  and  only  at  high  speeds,  as  no  lubricant  is,  as  a  rule, 
necessary  at  moderate  speeds.  Oil  shall  not  be  put  into  the 
cylinders  when  it  is  probable  that  the  engines  will  soon  be  stopped. 

(2)  Vedette  torpedo  boats  may  continue  to  run   at  moderate 
speed  for  at  least  thirty  days  without  changing  the  water  in  the 
boiler.     Should,  however,  a  long  run  at  high  speed  be  anticipated, 
the  boiler  shall  be  washed  out  and  refilled  before  starting.     With 
new  boilers  it  may  be  necessary  to  change  water  several  times 
until  they  are  quite  clean. 

(3)  Vedette  torpedo  boats  shall  be  run  for  three  hours,  for  the 
purpose  of  instruction  of  the  men,  once  in  each  quarter. 

Air  compress-     913.   (1)  After   using  air-compressing  machinery,   great  care 
ors-  shall  be  taken  to  see  that  the  engines,  pumps,  separators,  ..charg- 

ing columns,  and  reservoirs  are  blown  out  and  well  drained. 

(2)  A  spare  set  of  cup-washers  shall  always  be  kept  ready  for 
immediate  use. 

(3)  All   parts  of  the  machinery   subject  to  pressure   shall   be 
tested  to  the  full  pressure  once  each  year  and  the  fact  noted  in 
the  steam  log. 

(4)  The  oil  for  lubricating  the  internal  parts  shall  be  neats- 
foot  when  the  cups  are  of  leather  or,  if  that  can  not  be  obtained, 
other  animal  oils  or  castor  oil  shall  be  used. 

(5)  Cup  leather  washers  must  be  kept  in  tins  filled  with  castoi- 
oil.

(6)  Distilled  water  shall  be  used  for  lubricating  the  Internal 
parts  of  the  pumps,  If  it  can  he  obtained.     Water  containing  lime 
must  not  be  used. 

(7)  Owing  to  the  small  clearances  allowed    in   air-compressor 
pumps,  great  care  must  be  used  in  adjusting  the  bearings. 

914.  (1)  The  hydraulic  pumps,  engines,  pij>es,  and  the  gear      Hydraulic  ma- 
connected  therewith  shall  frequently  be  examined,   kept  in  goodch 

order  and  clear  of  water  when  not  being  worked. 

(2)  The  hydraulic  engines  shall  be  moved  at  least  twice  a  month 
by  means  of  the  pumps  fitted  for  the  purpose,  to  prevent  the  rams 
becoming  set  and  to  insure  their  efficiency. 

(3)  When  water  must  necessarily  remain  in  the  pipes,  the  air 
cocks  shall  be  left  open.     Stoves  shall  be  used  If  there  is  any 
danger  of  freezing. 

915.  (1)  When  a  ship  is  ordered  out  of  commission,  the  iron     ships  Koin«r

through  stuffing  boxes,  or  upon  sliding  surfaces   (as  piston  rods. 

valve  steins,  slide  and  guide  faces,  and  .journals),  shall  be  covered 
with  white  lead  and  tallow. 

(2)  Packing  shall  not  be  removed  from  piston  rods  or  valve 
stems. 

(3)  All  parts  passing  through  stuffing  boxes  or  working  upon 
their  surfaces,  such  as  piston  rods,  valve  stems,  guide  and  slide 
faces,    clutch   coupling   slides,    interiors    of    steam    cylinders   and 
valve  chests,  must  be  cleaned  and  covered  with  a  coating  of  vase- 
line, the  machinery  being  moved  after  first  application  so  as  to 
bring  all  these  parts  upon  properly  covered  surfaces. 

(4)  All  bearings  must  be  well  oiled  and  the  oil  holes  plugged 
with   waste,   the   engines   being  turned   one   complete   revolution 
after  oiling. 

i ."» i  All  water-containing  parts  of  the  machinery  inside  of  out- 
board valves  shall  be  thoroughly  drained.  Particular  attention 
shall  be  paid  to  draining  of  pump  cylinders;  condensers;  feed, 
blow,  and  suction  pipes;  tire  main,  and  all  steam  and  exhaust 
piliing  where  it  is  jmssihle  for  water  to  gather.  In  draining  these 
pipes,  flange  joints  shall  be  broken  at  the  lowest  parts  of  each 
system  and  wherever  a  jxH-ket  is  formed  which  is  not  drained  by 
a  proper  drain  pipe.  Outboard  valve  casings  below  valve  seats 
must  be  covered  where  possible  with  nonconducting  material, 
such  as  sawdust  or  manure,  temporarily  boxed  in. 

(6)  The  gauges  and  oil  cups  shall  not  be  removed. 

(7)  The  sea  valve  must  be  closed  and  properly  secured.

decide  the  point  at  issue,  and  to  direct  the  commanding  officer  to

loss  or  damage,  the  endorsement  must  fully  show  the  character 
and  amount  of  such  loss  or  damage,  in  order  that  proper  deduc- 
tions may  be  made  by  the  officer  drawing  up  the  bill  for  freight.

evidence  that  the  applicant  is  a  boua  fide  civil  employee  of  the 
National  Government.  Requisitions  shall  not  be  made  oftener 
than  twice  each  month  unless  absolutely  necessary.

charge  and  keep  the  accounts  thereof. 

(c)  The  issuing  officer  will   forward  all   three  copies  of  the

appropriation,  as  cash  sales  of  pay  department  stores  to  civil  em- 
ployees.

crews  of  torpedo  officers  shall  be  subsisted  under  the  direction  of  the  commanding 
officers,  who  shall  procure  the  provisions  necessary  for  the  purpose

counts on  the  prescribed  form  in  accordance  with  the  instructions 
contained  thereon. 

(5)  Provisions  procured  from  dealers  shall  be  paid  for  on  pub- 
lic bill  by  the  pay  officers  having  the  men's  accounts,  or  by  other 
pay  officers  when  circumstances  render  such  action  advisable. 

(6)  All  expenditures  of  provisions  for  the  crews  of  such  vessels 
shall  be  treated  as  "  over  issues,"  and  must  not  exceed  in  value 
the  allowable  issues  of  provisions  according  to  the  ration  law. 

(7)  The  values  of  the  allowable  issues  will  be  found  by  multi- 
plying the  total  number  of  rations  of  men  actually  subsisted  dur- 
ing any  period  by  the  average  cost  of  a  ration.

commandant,  through  the  heads  of  yard  departments  concerned, 
who  shall  make  the  necessary  examination  and  report.     (Arts.  917 
and  1)24.) 

(3)  If  the  repairs  in  question  are  such  as  will  obstruct  the 
movements  of  the  vessel,  by  disabling  her  motive  power  or  other- 
wise, or  if  they  exceed  five  hundred  dollars  in  estimated  cost,  the 
application  shall  be  transmitted,  with  the  commandant's  recom- 
mendation, to  the  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  Navy. 

(4)  If  the  repairs  do  not  interfere  with  the  movements  of  the 
vessel,  and  are  less  than  five  hundred  dollars  in  estimated  cost, 
the  commandant  may  order  the  survey,  and  whether  ordered  or 
not,  he  shall  report  his  action  immediately  to  the  Assistant  Secre- 
tary of  the  Navy. 

1255.  (1)  All  reports  of  surveys  on  ships  shall  be  made  to  the    Reports  of  snr-

one  copy  for  the  bureau,  one  for  the  head  of  the  department  at  the 
yard,  and  one  for  the  captain  of  the  ship. 

(2)  If  the  captain  considers  that  any  items  of  repairs  are  un- 
necessary or  inexpedient  or  can  be  done  advantageously  by  the 
force  cm  board,  he  shall  so  report  to  the  commandant,  who  shall 
forward   the  report  with   his  recommendations  to  the  Assistant 
Secretary. 

(3)  The  report  shall  contain  a  classified  statement  of  the  work     roBti

the  necessity  of  each  item;  an  estimate  of  the  time  and  cost  of 
each  item,  giving  the  cost  of  labor  and  material  separately;  and  a 
summarized  statement  of  the  time  and  cost  (labor  and  material) 

of  the  whole  work  under  each  bureau.  Any  item  that  will  require 
the  manufacture  of  special  articles  involving  probable  delays  shall 
.  be  siK'cially  noted.  The  report  shall  conclude  with  a  statement 
of  the  approximate  quantity  and  cost  of  materials  not  on  hand

(5)  The  commandant  of  the  yard  shall  be  held  responsible  for 
any  delays  in  the  completion  of  the  survey. 

1256.  As  soon  as  a  report  of  a  survey  has  been  signed,  the 
head  of  the  department  concerned  shall  make  a  careful  revision 
of  his  schedule  of  materials,  in  order  that  requisitions  may  be 
started  on  their  course  the  moment  the  order  to  proceed  with  the 
repairs  is  received  at  the  yard. 

1257.  (1)  When  a  report  of  survey  is  approved,  the  Assistant 
Secretary  will  notify  the  bureaus  concerned  of  his  action,  and  he 
will  issue  the  necessary  orders  to  the  commandant  to  proceed  with 
the  work. 

(2)  Promptly  upon  the  receipt  of  such  orders,  requisitions  for 
all  materials  needed  to  be  purchased  for  the  work  shall  be  trans- 
mitted to  the  general  storekeeper.  The  commandant  shall  ex- 
pedite the  preparation  of  requisitions  by  the  officers  whose  duty  it 
is  to  make  them,  and  their  issue  by  the  general  storekeeper. 

1258.  Whenever  a  bureau  makes  favorable  recommendations 
to  the  Department  for  repairs,  it  will  be  understood  that,  unless 
otherwise  stated,  the  condition  of  the  bureau  appropriation,  hav- 
ing reference  to  present  and  prospective  obligations,  justifies  the 
Department  in  authorizing  the  repairs. 

1259.  In  general,  surveys  on  the  hull  or  machinery  of  a  ship 
shall  not  be  held  in  a  foreign  port  without  the  authority  of  the 
Department,  unless  the  supposed  defects  are  due  to  casualties, 
such  as  grounding,  collision,  etc..    Such  surveys  shall  be  ordered 
by  the  commander-in-chief  or  the  senior  officer  present.    The  re- 
port shall  state  the  nature  and  extent  of  the  accident,  the  cause, 
the  probable  time  necessary  for  repairs,  the  cost  thereof,  and  to 
whom,  if  any  one,  blame  is  to  be  attributed.     The  report  shall 
embrace  every  detail  necessary  to  a  complete  understanding  of  the 
case.    If  an  accident  or  derangement  occurs  to  the  machinery  of 
a  ship,  the  board  shall  be  composed  of  three  line  officers,  two  of 
whom  have  had  experience  in  the  performance  of  engineering 
duties  on  shipboard ;  if  such  officers  are  not  available,  warrant 
machinists  may  be  substituted.     The  report,  in  triplicate,  shall 
be  forwarded  to  the  Department  by  the  first  opportunity.     (Art. 
919.) 

1260.  (1)   When    property    in   the    custody   of   an    officer   in 
charge  of  a  ship's  department  is  damaged,  deteriorated,  obsolete, 
in  need  of  repairs,  or  unnecessary  owing  to  excess  on  hand,  a  re- 
quest for  survey  shall  be  made  by  him  on  the  prescribed  form,  in 
triplicate,  addressed  to  the  commandant  or  senior  officer  present, 
who  shall  order  a  survey  as  provided  in  article  1262,  which  shall 
be  held  at  such  place  as  the  property  may  be. 

(2)  When  articles  are  lost  or  missing  afloat  or  on  shore  or 
do  not  correspond  in  quantity  or  kind  to  the  marks  on  a  package, 
the  officer  responsible  shall  request  on  the  prescribed  form,  in 
triplicate,  an  investigation  by  a  board  of  survey,  and  such  board 
shall  be  ordered  in  accordance  with  article  1262,  paragraph  2.    The 
report  of  the  board  shall  be  exhaustive  and  shall  fix  definitely, 
when  possible,  the  responsibility  for 'the  loss  or  deficiency.    The 
three  copies  of  the  report  shall  follow  the  course  given  in  article 
1267.    The  officer  requesting  the  survey  shall  forward  his  copy  to 
the  Bureau  of  Supplies  and  Accounts,  with  his  quarterly  returns,, 
as  a  voucher  for  the  disposition  of  the  articles. 

(3)  This  same  method  shall  be  pursued  by  any  officer  receiving 
stores  by  shipment  in  which  there  is  a  shortage  according  to  the 


CHAP.  XXVII.]  SURVEYS  ON   MATERIAL.  307 


invoices  ;  but  in  this  latter  case  the  copy  of  the  r^i^rt  received  by 
the  bureau  concerned  shall  be  forwarded  to  the  Paymaster  Gen- 
eral for  his  action. 

(4)  An  officer  receiving  a  shipment  in  which  there  is  a  shortage 
shall  take  up  the  invoice  in  full  on  his  books,  expending  the  miss- 
ing articles  according  to  the  direction  of  the  survey  report,  ami 
noting  in  red  ink  on  both  copies  of  the  summary  of  store  invoices 
the  invoice  value  of  the  articles  missing;  but  in  no  case  shall 
totals  in  the  body  of  the  summary  be  altered.

separate  series  for  each  bureau.  bered,  etc. 

(2)  Articles  pertaining  to  but  one  bureau  shall  be  included  in 
the  same  survey  request,  the  items  thereon  being  numbered  con- 
secutively. 

1262.  (1)   In  all  questions  of  survey  of  articles  mentioned  in     Authority  to 
this  and  the  following  articles,  commanders  of  divisions  have  the  ord'r  *urTe)!  on 
authority  prescribed  for  "  senior  officer  present."     For  the  survey,  ^ppl"*

shall  be  selected,  when  practicable,  from  a  ship  other  than  that 
making   the   request.    Except   in   urgent   cases,   however,   where 
delay  would  prevent  replacing  or  repairing  articles  necessary  for 
immediate  or  current  use,  such  surveys  shall  not  be  held  until 
the  arrival  of  the  vessel  at  a  navy  yard,  when  they  shall  be 
ordered  as  prescribed  in  the  following  paragraph. 

(&)  On  board  a  ship  at  a  navy  yard  or  station  for  articles  in     At  »  nary

shall  detail  a  commissioned  officer  to  serve  until  properly  relieved 
from  each  of  the  departments  of  ordnance,  equipment,  construc- 
tion and  repair,  steam  engineering,  and  yards  and  docks  ;  and  for 
each  survey  requested  one  of  these  officers  shall   serve.    As  a 
general  rule,  these  officers  shall  survey  articles  coming  under  the 
cognizance  of  the  department  to  which  they  belong. 

(c)  At  stations  where  a  large  amount  of  work  is  carried  on,     Two  or  mor* 
two  or  more  surveying  officers  from  one  department  may  be  de-****"  f™"  "•• 
tailed.    At  stations  where  two  or  more  departments  are  com-  e 

bined  under  one  head,  the  number  of  surveying  officers  may  be 
reduced,  if  necessary. 

(d)  When  practicable,  a  commandant  may  assign  a  pay  officer,     Pay  offlc  rr  for 
other  than  one  attached  to  the  general   storekeeper's  office,   as  4" 
permanent  surveying  officer  to  survey  articles  of  provisions,  cloth-

officer  any  pay  officer  serving  under  his  jurisdiction. 

(2)   In    the    case    of    lost   or    missing   articles,    afloat    or    on      I'0"L,°,r  mlti"

may  be,  shall,  at  the  request  of  the  officer  having  had  custody  of 
the  lost  artices,  or  who  received  the  shipment  from  which  the 
articles  are  missing,  appoint  a  board  for  investigation  and  rejMirt.

commanding  officer,  the  comniander-in-chief  of  the  fleet,  the  com- 
mander of  the  squadron,  division,  or  station  to  which  he  belongs, 
the  Auditor  for  the  Navy  Department,  the  Comptroller  of  the 
Treasury,  or  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy. 

Commanding  1298.  When  a  pay  officer  has  received,  or  has  been  authorized 
fo'm'd^f  ail ln"  or  directed  to  pay  over,  any  public  money  without  the  previous 
money  received  knowledge  or  sanction  of  his  immediate  commanding  officer,  it 
or  paid.  shall  be  the  duty  of  such  pay  officer  to  report  to  him  forthwith  the 

amount  received  or  paid,  and  the  authority  under  which  he  acted. 
Objection  to         1299.  When  ordered  by  his  commanding  officer  to  make  an 
order  ^^J^}  expenditure  of  money  or  stores  which  the  pay  officer  believes  to 
payments.  be  illegal  or  contrary  to  regulation,  the  latter  shall  state  in  writ- 

ing the  grounds  on  which  he  objects  to  obeying  the  order,  and 
request  that  the  order  be  reiterated  in  writing.  On  the  receipt 
of  such  order  the  expenditure  shall  be  made. 

Disbursements  1300.  (1)  Disbursement  of  public  moneys,  or  disposal  of  pub- 
by  order  of  com-  jjc  stores,  made  by  a  disbursing  officer  pursuant  to  an  order  of 

maudlin:  officers.  ,.         J  „,  ,.    ,,    °  „ 

any  commanding  officer  of  the  Navy,  shall  be  allowed  by  the 
proper  accounting  officer  of  the  Treasury  in  settlement  of  the 
accounts  of  the  officer,  upon  satisfactory  evidence  of  the  making 
of  such  order,  and  of  the  payment  of  money  or  disposal  of  stores 
in  conformity  with  it ;  and  the  commanding  officer  by  whose 
order  such  disbursement  or  disposal  was  made  shall  be  held  ac- 
countable for  the  same.  (Sec.  285,  R.  S.) 

(2)  The  foregoing,  however,  does  not  authorize  an  advance  of 
public  money  by  the  pay  officer  to  the  commanding  officer,  or  to 
any  other  person  by  his  order.    The  disbursement  presupposes  an 
indebtedness,  and  whether  the  objects  for  which  the  indebted- 
ness accrued  were  sanctioned  or  not  by  law  or  regulation,  the  pay 
officer  would  be  entitled  to  a  credit  for  payment  therefor,  when 
made  by  order  of  the  commanding  officer;  but  the  disbursement 
must  be  for  some  service  or  ai'ticle  furnished,  in  accordance  with 
law. 

(3)  The  commanding  officer  will  be  held  accountable  by  the 
Navy   Department   for   every  expenditure  of  funds  or   property 
made  by  his  authority ;  but  in  order  to  charge  a  commanding  offi- 
cer with   pecuniary   responsibility  for  a   payment   made  by   his 
order,   under  paragraph  1   of  this  article,   it   is  necessary   that 
there  should  be  a  compliance  with  article  1298,  for,  in  the  absence 
of  such  written  order  from  the  commanding  officer,  after  a  state- 
ment of  objections  has  been  duly  made,  the  pay  officer,  and  not 
the  commanding  officer,  will  be  held  responsible. 

Accountability  1301.  (1)  Although  an  officer  may  be  charged  on  the  books  of 
iT^'ilft  °S  fn-j  tlle  Treasury  with  the  amount  of  requisitions  made  in  his  favor,

Transfer  of  (o)  In  each  transfer  of  funds,  the  receiving  officer  must  state 
on  the  receipt  given  that  he  holds  himself  accountable  to  the 
United  States  for  the  sum  received.  The  officer  making  the  trans- 
fer shall  state  whether  the  funds  transferred  were  in  cash,  i.  e., 
currency,  or  by  check.  If  by  check,  the  date,  number,  and  de- 
positary on  whom  drawn  must  be  stated. 

(3)  When  transfers  have  been  made  to,  or  funds  received  from, 
more  than  one  officer,  the  amounts  so  transferred  or  received  from 
each  officer  shall  be  stated  separately.

draw  exchange,  he  shall  inform  the  endorsing  officer  of  the  fact, 
upon   the   fomi   prescribed  for  money   statements  pertaining  to

the  commission  of  one-half  of  one  per  cent  paid  to  the  foreign 
financial  agents  must  be  taken  into  consideration.      To  make  up

trol their  withdrawal,  when  discharged,  to  the  harbor  or  anchor- 
age selected. 

(15)  It  is  deemed  desirable  that  the  army  commanding  officer 
shall,  if  convenient,  be  embarked  in  the  flagship  of  the  naval  con- 
voy commander.    If  not  convenient,  the  army  commanding  officer's 
transport  should  be  out  of  the  formation  and  near  the  flagship  of 
the  naval  convoy  commander,   in  order  that  communication  be- 
tween them  may  be  readily  had  at  any  time,  and  in  this  case  the 
senior  naval  officer  assigned  to  transports  should  be  embarked  in 
the  same  transport  as  the  army  commanding  officer.

upon  them  a  pn>i>er  regard  for  the  efficiency  of  the  naval  stations. 
Any  order  given  by  them  must  be  executed  by  the  commandant, 
who,  if  he  feels  that  such  execution  will  impair  the  efficiency  of 
the  station,  should,  as  a  matter  of  duty  and  before  executing  the 
order,  call  the  attention  of  the  flag  officer  to  the  facts  in  the  case; 
after  which,  if  the  latter  insists,  he  must  carry  out  the  instruc- 
tions received  promptly  and  zealously.     The  commandant  is,  how- 
ever, under  such  circumstances,  to  bring  the  matter  to  the  atten-

complicated,   where  there  appears  to  be  ground   for   susiH»ctingT"t"*r- 
criminality,  or  where  crime  has  been  committed,  or  much  blame 
incurred  without  any  certainty  on  whom  it  ought  chiefly  to  fall,  a 
court  of  inquiry  affords  the  best  means  of  collecting,  sifting,  and 
methodizing  information  for  the  purpose  of  enabling  the  convening 
authority  to  decide  upon  the  necessity  and  exj>ediency  of  further 
judicial  proceedings.

serious  enough  in  their  judgment  to  require  thorough  investiga- 
tion, to  order  a  court  of  inquiry  as  soon  as  practicable,  and  on  the 
proceedings  being  closed,  to  submit  them  by  the  earliest  opportu- 
nity to  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  in  order  that  he  may  take  such

regulated  by  the  circumstances  to  be  inquired  into.     In  case  the 

conduct  or  character  of  an  officer  may  be  implicate  in  the  inves- 
tigation, no  member  of  the  court  shall  be,  if  possible,  his  inferior 
in  rank.  And  should  such  officer  not  be  of  the  line,  it  is  pro|>er,

the  corps  to  which  he  belongs  be  detailed  for  duty  on  the  court.

fication'11  8P      trial»   examine  the   specification.     The   court   may   itself   correct 

therein  manifest  clerical  errors  and,  before  the  trial  begins,  notify

the  accused  of  such  corrections.  Technical  errors  shall  be  dealt 
with  as  in  general  courts-martial,  the  form  of  procedure  for  which 
is  applicable  to  summary  courts  -martini  where  not  inconsistent 
therewith  or  with  the  regulations  govern  ing  tin-  latter. 

(2)  The  accused  must  furnish  his  own  counsel  except  as  pro-     Coon»et  for»e- 
vided  In  the  next  paragraph;  a  summary  court-martini  can  not  r'*rd- 
refuse  to  allow  such  assistance. 

(3)  When  the  accused  has  no  counsel,  the  court  may,  if  he  so 
requests,  appoint  a  commissioned,  warrant,  or  i>etty  officer  within 
reach  to  act  as  his  counsel.     Such  appointment,   however,  takes 
effect  only  with  the  consent  of  such  ollicer. 

(4)  The  record  must  show,  by  admission  of  the  accused,  or  by     Bwript  or 
other  proof,  that  he  received  at  a  stated  time  prior  to  his  trial  a  '"ft,^  *|M>fl 
copy  of  the  specification  preferred  against  him. 

(5)  After  the  precept  and  orders  altering  the  same  have  been      Prr**pt,  etc., 
read,  the  accused  shall  be  asked  if  he  objects  to  any  member  of  *      ' 

the  court.    The  recorder  may  not  be  challenged  on  any  ground,     dullm***. 
It  is  essential  for  the  record  to  show  that  the  accused  was  afforded 
opportunity  to  challenge.    The  recorder  may  also  challenge  mem- 
bers. 

(6)  If  a  challenge  is  made  and  the  court  decides  not  to  sus-     Action  in  rue 
tain  it,  the  case  shall  proceed.     If  the  challenge  is  sustained,  theof  rh"11*w- 
case  shall  be  suspended  and  the  recorder  shall,  as  soon  as  jxissible, 

forward  the  record  to  the  convening  authority.  If  the  latter  ap- 
proves the  action  of  the  court,  he  may  order  a  new  member  In 
place  of  the  one  challenged,  or  withdraw  the  specification  from  the 
court ;  if  he  disapproves  the  court's  action,  he  shall  return  the  rec- 
ord to  the  court  with  his  action  thereon  and  the  case  shall  proceed. 
When  a  new  member  is  added  to  the  court,  the  order  appointing 
him  shall  be  read  aloud  and  the  accused  shall  be  afforded  an  oppor- 
tunity  to  challenge  such  member.  (Art.  47,  A.  G.  N.) 

(7)  When  proceedings  in  a  case  are,  for  any  cause,  susi>ended,      »w  CM*  or 
a  new  case  or  other  business  before  the  court  may  be  taken  up.      otl"r  bl"'ll"«»- 

(8)  After  the  accused  has  announced  that  he  does  not  object     o»thM  attain- 
to  any  member,  or  to  any  other  member,  and  that  he  received  a 

copy  of  the  specification,  the  oaths  or  affirmations  required  by  arti- 
cle L'S  of  the  Articles  for  the  Government  of  the  Navy  shall  be  ad- 
ministered. It  is  essential  for  the  record  to  show  that  these  oaths 
or  affirmations  were  administered,  to  which  end  the  entry  may  be: 
"  Each  member  and  the  recorder  were  duly  sworn." 

(9)  After  each  member  and  the  recorder  have  been  duly  sworn.    sprriflriiion 
the  recorder  shall  read  aloud  the  specification  preferred  against •«•••!. 

the  accused,  shall  address  him  by  his  name  and  designation  and 
ask  him  whether  he  is  guilty  or  not  guilty  of  the  specification  just 
read.  The  trial  shall  then  proceed  as  provided  for  in  general 
court-martial  procedure.  (Arts.  1748,  174!),  and  17.r»O.) 

(10)  The  proper  order  for  the  introduction  of  evidence  Is  as 

follows:  1st,  by  the  prosecution;  2d,  by  the  defense;  .'Id,  rebuttal      ordrr  for  In- 
by  the  prosecution ;  4th,  surrebuttal  by  the  defense.     The  court  J.^"^""  "' 
may.  in  the  interest  of  justice,  allow  evidence  to  be  introduced  out 
of  the  above  order  and  may,  for  satisfactory  cause,  allow  the  prose- 
cution or  the  defense  to  introduce  evidence  at  any  time  before 
arriving  at  its  finding  thereon,  but  it  shall  not  thereafter  receive 
any  new  evidence  except  evidence  of  previous  convictions. 

(11)  Entries  shall  be  made  in  the  record  to  indicate  the  begin- 
ning and  the  ending  of  each  stage  iu  the  introduction  of  evidence.

1686.  (1)  Each  witness   in   a   summary  court-martial  must, 
before  giving  his  testimony,  be  sworn  or  affirmed  as  required  by 
article  41  of  the  Articles  for  the  Government  of  the  Navy.     It  is 
essential  for  the  record  to  show  that  each  witness  was  duly  sworn. 

(2)  Testimony  shall  be  recorded  in  the  order  in  which  it  is 
taken  and  as  nearly  as  possible  in  the  words  of  the  witness. 

(3)  The  court  may,  at  its  discretion,  require  that  all  questions, 
before  being  put,  be  reduced  to  writing. 

(4)  If  it  is  known  to  the  recorder  prior  to  beginning  the  prose- 
corde"to'be  first  cution  that  a  member  or  the  recorder  is  to  be  a  witness  for  the 
witness.             prosecution,  the  testimony  of  such  witness  should  be  taken  before 

any  other  evidence  is  received.  If  the  senior  member  becomes  a 
witness,  the  member  next  in  rank  shall  administer  the  oath  and 
preside  until  the  witness  resumes  his  status  as  senior  member. 
If  the  recorder  becomes  a  witness,  he  shall  during  his  own  exami- 
nation continue  his  duties  as  recorder.  In  either  case,  the  witness, 
after  giving  his  testimony,  shall  resume  his  status  as  member  or 
as  recorder. 

Order  for  ex-  (5)  The  proper  order  for  the  examination  of  a  witness  is  as 
iimi mil i«>u  of  follows  :  1st,  direct  examination  by  the  party  who  calls  him ;  2d, 
witness.  cross-examination  by  the  opposite  party ;  3d,  redirect  examination  ; 

4th,  re-cross-examination.  The  court  may,  in  the  interest  of 
justice,  allow  further  examination  and  cross-examination  by  the 
parties.  Any  member  of  the  court  may  put  questions  to  the  wit- 
ness, such  questions  being  subject  to  objection  in  the  same  manner 
as  are  questions  by  parties  to  the  trial. 

Testimony  to      (6)  The  recorded  testimony  of  a  witness  shall  be  read  to,  or 
be  read  over,     by,  him  in  order  that  he  may  verify,  correct  or  amend  it.     In 
recording  corrections  or  amendments,  the  instructions  given  in 
article  1759  shall  be  followed. 

(7)  Before  a  witness  withdraws  from  the  court  room,  the 
senior  member  shall  warn  him  not  to  converse  upon  matters  per- 
taining to  the  trial  during  its  continuance.  This  warning  shall 
not  be  given  to  a  member  or  to  the  accused. 

1687.  (1)   The  accused  shall,  at  his  own  request  but  not  oth- 
erwise, be  a  competent  witness;  and  his  failure  to  make  such  re- 
quest shall  not  create  any  presumption  against  him.     (Act   of 
March  16,  1878.)     When  the  accused  testifies,  the  record  shall 
show  that  it  was  at  his  own  request,  to  which  end  the  entry 
may  be,  "  The  accused,  at  his  own  request,  was  duly  sworn  and 
testified  as  follows." 

(2)  The  accused  as  a  witness  occupies  no  exceptional  status; 
he  is  subject  to  cross-examination  and  his  testimony  is  subject  to 
the  same  rules  of  evidence  that  apply  to  other  testimony. 

1688.  Should   the  accused  have  no  counsel,   or   incompetent 
counsel,  the  recorder  shall,  with  the  consent  of  the  accused,  assist 
him  by  presenting  his  defense  in  the  most  efficient  manner,  in- 
cluding the  introduction  of  evidence  in  extenuation,  or  in  mitiga- 
tion, of  the  offense,  as  well  as  evidence  of  previous  good  conduct  or 
character. 

1689.  Whenever  the  court  is  cleared,  the  recorder  and  all  other 
persons  except  members  shall  withdraw  from  the  court  room. 
The  entry  in  the  record  to  indicate  that  this  regulation  was  com- 
plied with  shall  be,  "The  court  was  cleared,  the  recorder  with- 
drawing."

1690.  (1)  Oral  arguments  upon  the  admissibility  of  evidence,     M»it«r»  to  w 
or  upon  interlocutory  proceedings,  may  be  allowed,  but  shall  notihow*  '•  r**°rd- 
be  recorded.    The  grounds  UIKIU  which  objections  are  made  shall 

be  recorded. 

(2)  When  the  trial  is  finished,  the  recorder  shall  so  enter  upon 
the  record. 

(3)  The  conduct  record  of  the  accused  during  his  current  en- 
listment may  be  received  in  evidence  between  the  finding  and  sen- 
tence under  the  same  conditions  as  those  prescribed  for  evidence    . 
of  previous  convictions. 

1691.  (1)   If  the  court  finds  the  si>eciflcation  proved,  or  proved     Etidrwr  of 
in  part,  and  the  recorder  has  stated  that  he  has  evidence  of  pre-  pr"io"«  ro«Tie-

the  accused  being  present,  the  recorder  shall  introduce  evidence  of 

previous  convictions,  and  also  the  conduct  record,  if  the  latter  is 
desired  by  the  court. 

(2)  The  evidence  of  previous  convictions  is  introduced  by  the    Efidewr  of 
recorder  reading  aloud  extracts  from  the  log,  enlistment  records,  pri-rioM  ro«Tic- 
or  descriptive  lists,  general  court-martial  orders,  or  any  other  jured.  ° 
evidence  of  record  showing  the  offense  committed,  the  time  of  its 
commission,  the  sentence,  and  the  action  thereon ;  certified  copies

(3)  Evidence  of  previous  convictions  must  relate  to  the  current     Whei  «<!•!»-

tions  by  a  court-martial  that  have  been  approved  by  the  authori- 
ties whose  action  is  requisite  to  give  full  effect  to  the  sentence; 
these  authorities  are  the  convening  and  reviewing  authorities  and, 
in  sentences  involving  loss  of  pay  or  bad  conduct  discharge  of 
marines,  and  of  enlisted  men  of  the  Navy  not  in  their  first  enlist- 
ment, the  Secretary  of  the  Navy.  When  the  finding  and  sentence 
have  been  disapproved  by  the  proj>er  reviewing  authority,  evidence 
of  such  previous  conviction  is  inadmissible.  (Art.  1G!)X,  par.  2.) 

1692.  The  court  may  find  the  accused  guilty  of  the  whole  or     Kindinc  and 
of  any  part  of  the  misconduct  charged,  according  to  the  evidence,  p«i«fc»«-»t. 
and  adjudge  punishment  for  as  much  as  shall  be  found  proved.

of  two  or  more  punishments  are  not  to  be  assigned,  except  as  pre- 
scribed by  those  articles;  from  which  it  follows  that  sentences  to 
"  extra  duties"  instead  of  "  extra  police  duties,"  and  to  "dishonor- 
able" instead  of  "bad-conduct"  discharge  are  illegal:  that  sen- 
tences to  confinement  in  irons  are  illegal;  and  that  sentences 
involving  confinement  on  bread  and  water  or  diminished  rations 
are  illegal  unless  it  is  expressly  provided  that  such  confinement  is 
to  be  "  solitary." 

(2)  A  sentence  of  "deprivation  of  liberty"  is  illegal  unless  the  ,l^rl?'tlom  of 
words  "on  shore  on  foreign  station,"  are  added,  and  the  court  In 
adjudging  sentence  shall  not  exceed  the  limit  of  three  months. 

(Art.  840.) 

(3)  The  use  of  irons,  single  or  double,  as  a  form  of  punishment     '"•*  "' lro*1 
in  the  Navy,  Is  abolished  except  for  the  puriwises  of  safe  custody* 

or  when  part  of  the  sentence  imposed  by  a  general  court-martial.

shall  not  award  it  in  any  case  for  a  longer  period,  consecutively, 
than  five  days.    As  a  shorter  interval  on  bread  and  water  is  less 
liable  to  work  injury  to  health,  the  maximum  interval  allowed 
should  be  adjudged  only  in  case  of  maximum  offenses. 
Extra  police        (5)  Except  when  the  offender  is  serving  on  a  receiving  ship  or 

duties.  a£  a  gborg  station,  sentences  involving  extra  police  duties  are  un- 

desirable,   demanding   from   others   increased    watchfulness   and 
supervision. 
Disrating  for      (g)  jn  ^e  case  of  a  person  found  guilty  of  incompetency,  the

enlisted  persons  by  sentence  of  summary  courts-martial,  the  fol- 
lowing classification  of  the  petty  officers  and  other  enlisted  men  in 
the  Navy,  and  of  the  noncommissioned  officers,  musicians,  and  pri- 
vates in  the  Marine  Corps,  arranged  to  show  in  each  case  their 
"  next  inferior  rating,"  shall  be  followed :  unless  the  man's  current 
enlistment  record  shows  that  he  was  promoted  to  his  present  rate 
from  some  inferior  rating  other  than  the  one  indicated  by  the 
table,  in  which  case  his  reduction  shall  be  to  the  inferior  rating 
from  which  he  was  last  advanced,  and  it  shall  be  so  stated  in  the 
record  of  the  court.

duct  discharge  "  is  deemed  appropriate  only  to  cases  in  which  the  d£ct  nUrh?r»r 
offense  committed  demonstrates  the  fact  that  the  accused  is  an  Id'jud<ed. 
unfit  person  to  remain  in  the  naval  service,  and  should  not  be 

approved  for  continuous  service  men  except  in  extreme  cases,  and 
then  only  after  careful  inquiry  as  to  the  record  and  length  of 
service  of  the  accused. 

(10)  In  sentences  involving  loss  of  pay,  the  amount  of  money    Amoaat  of  io*» 
and  not  the  length  of  time  shall  be  stated,  having  due  regard  to  "'  P" »  "d  ""' 
the  fact  that  not  more  than  three  months'  loss  of  pay  may  be  {!£, It""!,* Vu 
imposed. 

1694.  (1)  The  sentence  of  the  court  shall  be  signed  by  all  the 
members  and  by  the  recorder.     (Art.  52,  A.  G.  N.) 

(2)  After  the  proceedings  in  a  trial  have  been  completed  and     Brrord  •» 
recorded   they  shall   be  signed   by   the   senior  member  and   the  the«tic«tfd. 
recorder,  and  the  senior  member  shall  transmit  the  record  to  the 
convening  authority. 

(3)  The  convening  authority  shall   scrutinize  the  record  and     Action  of  r..n- 
shall,  before  approving  the  proceedings  and  sentence,  satisfy  him-™1"*  ••thor> 
self  that  the  record  contains  all  that  is  necessary  both  as  to  law  ltjr' 

and  fact  to  support  the  finding.  He  may,  if  not  so  satisfied,  direct 
the  court  to  reconsider  its  sentence,  or  its  finding  and  sentence, 
or  to  revise  its  proceedings,  or  he  may  disapprove  the  proceedings, 
finding,  and  the  whole  or  any  part  of  the  sentence. 

(4)  If  the  convening  authority  approves  the  whole  or  any  part 
of  the  sentence  adjudged,  he  shall  transmit  the  record  to  the  coni- 
mander-in-chief,  or  in  his  absence  to  the  senior  officer  present. 
Should  no  officer  senior  to  himself  be  present,  he  shall,  in  sub- 
scribing his  action  ui>on  the  record,  add  to  his  title  the  words 
"  Senior  Officer  Present."     (Arts.  1550  and  IfiSMJ,  pars.  1  and  2.)

the  certificate  of  the  senior  medical  officer  under  the  immediate 
jurisdiction  of  the  convening  authority,  to  the  effect  that  such 
sentence  will  not  be  seriously  injurious  to  the  health  of  the  pris- 
oner. (Art.  33,  A.  G.  N.) 

(2)  The  officer  who  orders  a  summary  court-martial  has  ixwor     Himi-i..n  «.f 
to  remit,  in  part  or  altogether,  but  not  to 'commute,  the  sentence  «*«t*««*.     P«»w- 
of  the  court.    The  convening  authority,  in  mitigation  of  a  sentence,  JUJ^JiJ."***1*" 
can  remit  so  much  thereof  as  requires  confinement  to  be  solitary 

or  on  diminished  rations;  or  in  sentences  involving  bread  and 
water,  he  can  increase  the  frequency  with  which  full  rations  be 
permitted.  It  is  his  duty  either  to  remit  any  part  or  the  whole  of 
any  sentence,  the  execution  of  which  would,  in  the  opinion  of  the 
senior  medical  officer,  given  In  writing,  produce  serious  Injury  to 
the  health  of  the  person  sentenced;  or,  to  submit  the  case  again, 
without  delay,  to  the  same  or  to  another  summary  court.  (Art.

a  revlewal  of  the  record  of  the  former  trial  and  a  redeternilnatlon  ro«rt.

1696.  (1)  No  sentence  of  a  summary  court-martial  shall  ho     in,r,.,.i  .r

Sentences  in-

(2)  All  powers  of  mitigation  vested  in  the  convening  authority 
may  be  exercised  by  the  commander-in-chief  or,  in  his  absence, 
by  the  senior  officer  present. 

(3)  When  the  convening  authority  is  the  commanding  officer  of 
a  cruising  vessel  in  commission,  temporarily  at  a  navy  yard,  the 
commander-in-chief  or,  in  his  absence,  the  senior  officer  of  the 
cruising  vessels  there  present,  and  not  the  commandant  of  the 
yard,   is  the  authority  whose  approval  of  the  proceedings   and 
sentence  is  necessary  before  the  latter  may  be  carried  into  execu- 
tion.    (Art.  1557.)     When  two  or  more  cruising  vessels  in  com- 
mission meet,  not  at  a  navy  yard,  the  senior  officer  present  shall 
be  determined  by  the  provisions  of  article  19. 

(4)  Sentences  as  finally  approved  by  the  convening  authority 
and  by  the  commander-in-chief,  or  in  his  absence  by  the  senior 
officer  present,  except  loss  of  pay  adjudged  in  direct  terms  and 
bad  conduct  discharges  of  marines,  and  of  enlisted  men  of  the 
navy  not  in  their  first  enlistment,  may  be  carried  into  execution 
immediately  after  such  approval.     (Arts.  805  and  1697.) 

(5)  In  every  case  where  a  sentence  involving  bad  conduct  dis- 
charge has  been  imposed,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  officer  order- 
ing the  court,  before  acting  upon  the  proceedings,  to  spread  upon 
the  record  a  brief  synopsis  of  the  service  of  the  person  tried  and 
of  the  offenses  committed  by  him  during  his  current  enlistment. 

(6)  In  cases  where  the  accused  has  been  acquitted  by  the  court, 
or  where  the  sentence  has  been  disapproved  by  the  convening  au- 
thority, the  record  of  proceedings  shall  be  submitted  to  the  senior 
officer  present  in  the  same  manner  as  though  a  sentence  requiring 
action  still  remained. 

1697.  (1)  Sentences  of  summary  courts,  or  parts  thereof, 
which  involve  loss  of  pay,  in  direct  terms,  can  not  lawfully  be  exe- 
cuted until  approved  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Navy,  and  must, 
therefore,  be  referred  to  him.  This  reference  is  to  be  briefly  and 
legibly  endorsed  upon  the  record  by  the  officer  who  first  revises  the 
proceedings.  In  such  cases,  the  same  formal  approval  of  the  pro- 
ceedings by  the  officer  who  first  revises  them  and  the  senior  officer 
present  is  required,  as  if  he  had  power  finally  to  confirm  the  sen- 
tence; but  the  disapproval  of  the  loss  of  pay  by  either  is  final. 

(2)  Such  portion  of  a  sentence  of  summary  court-martial  as 
involves  discharge  from  the  service  with  bad  conduct  discharge 
shall  not  be  carried  into  effect  until  an  order  for  discharge  is  re- 
ceived from  the  Bureau  of  Navigation  or  from  the  Commandant  of 
the  Marine  Corps,  as  the  case  may  require,  except  that  men  (other 
than  marines)  during  their  first  enlistment,  so  sentenced,  may, 
after  approval  of  the  proceedings  and  sentence  by  the  proper  au- 
thorities (Art.  32,  A.  G.  N.)  be  discharged,  without  the  above 
mentioned  order,  within  the  continental  limits  of  the  United 
States,  and  that  men  in  the  insular  force  sentenced  by  summary 
court-martial  to  discharge  with  bad  conduct  discharge  may  be  so 
discharged  in  the  Philippine  Islands,  Samoa,  or  Guam,  according 
to  the  place  of  enlistment,  upon  the  approval  of  the  sentence  by 
the  senior  officer  present  in  Asiatic  waters,  or  in  Samoa  or  Guam, 
as  the  case  may  be.  Men  under  sentence  of  discharge  with  bad 
conduct  discharge,  and  on  board  a  vessel  about  to  proceed  to  a 
port  outside  the  United  States,  may,  upon  order  of  the  senior  offi- 
cer present,  be  transferred  to  the  nearest  receiving  ship  or  marine 
barracks,  according  to  the  circumstances,  or  to  a  vessel  remaining

transfer,  and  that  the  Bureau  of  Navigation  or  the  Commandant

1698.  (1)   Records  of  proceedings  of  summary  courts  shall  be     Rword  of  pro- 
kept   and   made   up   in   the   manner   hereinafter    prescribed    for  H^*^ how 
records   of   general    courts-martial.     They    shall    be   transmitted 

direct  to  the  Judge  Advocate  General. 

(2)  Before  such  record  is  transmitted  to  the  Judge  Advocate  Tranurtpt 
General,  a  brief  transcript  shall  be  taken  therefrom  (except  in  from  «•'«"•<•• 
case  of  acquittal)  and  entered  upon  the  enlistment  record  of  the 
man  concerned.  This  transcript  shall  comprise  the  date  and 
nature  of  the  offense  proved  and  the  punishment  adjudged  as 
approved  by  the  senior  officer  present,  with  the  date  of  such 
approval.  If  the  said  punishment  be  disapproved  or  mitigated 
subsequently  by  the  Department,  an  entry  to  that  effect  shall  be 
made  as  soon  as  notice  thereof  is  received.  If  loss  of  pay  or  bad 
conduct  discharge,  or  both,  be  included  in  the  sentence,  the  final 
action  in  either  case  shall  be  similarly  entered.  The  transcript 
and  entries  shall  be  authenticated  as  soon  as  made  by  the  signa- 
ture of  the  captain. 

1699.  The  court  is  dissolved  by  the  authority  that  ordered  it    ronrt  dit- 
to convene.    The  order  may  be  verbal.  toUed.

desertion,  betrayal  of  trust,  or  enticing  others  to  commit  these 
crimes:  in  a  charge,  therefore,  under  one  of  these  sections,  It  must 
l»e  laid  that  the  offense  was  committed  in  time  of  war. 

1706.  The  specifications  of  each  charge,  one  or  more,  must  be:     sp.-rinr«ti..n» 
(«)   Hrief,   clear,   and  explicit. — The    facts,   circumstances,   andof  <-fc»nrr»,  bow 

intent  constituting  the  offense  must   be  set  forth  with  certainty  p' 

and  precision,  and  the  accused  churned  directly  and  positively 
with  having  committed  it. 

(6)  Certain  as  to  the  party  accused. — He  must  he  described  by 
his  title  and  rank,  or  rating,  Christian  name  and  surname  written 
nt  full  length,  with  the  addition  of  his  vessel  or  service  at  the 
time  the  offenses  with  which  he  shall  be  charged  took  place. 

(r)  Certain  as  to  time. — The  time  when  the  alleged  offenses 
occurred  should  be  set  forth  minutely  and  precisely.  Should  any 
doubt  exist  in  regard  to  the  time,  it  may  be  set  forth  in  the  sptvi- 
ticatiou  that  the  act  was  committed  "on  or  about"  such  a  time, 
but  the  limitation  as  to  date  must  embrace  a  reasonable  time  only. 

(d)  Certain  as  to  place. — The  place  where  the  alleged  offenses 
occurred  should  be  set  forth  minutely  and  precisely.     Should  any 
doubt  exist    in   regard  to  the  place,   it    may  be  set  forth  in  the 
specification   that   the  act   was  committed  "at  or  near"  such  a 
place.     Hut  when  the  geographical  position  of  a  ship  is  not  mate- 
rial to  a  complete  description  of  the  offense,  such  as  the  theft  of 
another's  clothing  or  any  other  act  committed  wholly  on  board, 
such  particular  geographical  position  need  not  be  specified.

mitted.— In  the  case  of  offenses  against  the  i>erson  or  property  of 
individuals,  the  Christian  name  and  surname,  with  the  rank  and

described. as  a  "person  unknown." 

(/)  Certain  as  to  the  facts,  circumstances,  and,  where  intent 
forms  an  ingredient  of  the  offense,  the  intent  constituting  the 
offense. — It  is  not  sufficient  that  the  accused  be  charged  generally 
with  having  committed  an  offense,  as  for  instance,  with  habitual 
violation  of  orders  or  neglect  of  duty,  but  the  particular  acts  or 
circumstances  constituting  such  offenses  must  be  distinctly  set 
forth  in  the  specification.  (Sec.  1023,  R.  S.) 

1707.  (1)    Written  instruments,  or  such  portions  thereof,  as     u.-,;ui..f  nrii-

verbatim,  with  care  and  accuracy. 

(2)  When  the  substance  only  is  intended  to  be  set  out,  it  should 
lie  introduced  by  the  words  "  in  substance  as  follows."     The  word 
"tenor"  implies  that  a  correct  copy  is  set  out. 

(3)  Where  particular  words  form  the  gist  of  the  offense,  they 
must  be  set  forth  with  particularity,  or  declared  to  be  of  the  like 
meaning  and  purport.     Where  the  language  is  profane  or  obscene, 
its  nature  may  be  indicated  only  in  general  and  becoming  terms. 

17OX.    (  1  )    After  a  charge  has  been  signed  by  the  projier  au-     Ali»riii»»«  in

errors.

martial  becomes  president  thereof  by  virtue  of  his  rank. 

(2)  Besides  his  duties  and  privileges  as  a  member,  he  is  the 
organ  of  the  court,  and  is  empowered  to  keep  order,  and  to  speak 
and  act  for-  the  court  in  each  case  where  the  rule  has  been  pre- 
scribed by  law,  regulation,  or  its  own  resolution.  But  all  the 
members  have  equal  rights  before  the  court  and,  therefore,  when

the  service. 

Proper  treat-  (2)  The  president,  of  the  court  shall  be  responsible  that  all 
ment  insured  to  persons  called  before  it  are  treated  in  a  becoming  manner,  and  in

the  court.  if  necessary,  report  the  offender  to  the  convening  authority.

ish  contempts,  scribed  in  article  42.  Articles  for  the  Government  of  the  Navy. 

Perjury  or  sub-      1714.  Persons   who  willfully   give  false  evidence   upon   oath 
omation thereof,  before  a  court-martial,  or  corruptly  suborn  others  to  do  so,  may 
be  prosecuted  in  any  court  of  justice  in  the  United  States  and  pun- 
ished   according   to   the   laws   in   such   cases.     (Sees.    5392   and 
5303,  R.  S.") 

1715.  When  the  proceedings  of  any  general  court-martial  have 
begun,   they   shall   not   be   suspended   or   delayed   on  account  of 
the  absence  of  any  of  the  members,  provided  five  or  more  are 
assembled,  but  the  court  is  enjoined  to  sit  from  day  to  day,  Sun- 
days  excepted,    until    sentence   is   given,    unless   temporarily   ad- 
journed by  the  authority  which  convened  it  (art.  45,  A.  G.  N.), 
to  whom  report  is  always  to  be  made  when  the  court  shall  be 
reduced  to  less  than  five  members,  or  when   a   longer  adjourn- 
ment than  from  day  to  day,   Sundays  excepted,  appears  to  be 
necessary. 

1716.  (1)  No  member  of  a  general  court-martial  shall,  after 
the  proceedings  are  begun,  absent  himself  therefrom   except  in 
case  of  sickness,  or  of  -an  order  to  go  on  duty  from  a  superior

of  each  case  to  which  it  applies. 

(3)  The  detachment  of  an  officer  from  his  ship  or  station  does     I»rUrh»r«t 
not,  of  itself,  relieve  him  from  duty  as  a  member  or  judge  advo-fn""  H|I|P  of

are  necessary.     (Arts.  221  and  L'L'L'.  i 

(4)  In  case  a   member  is  sick  he  shall,  if  able,  request  the    lll»w»of

Articles  for  the  Government  of  the  Navy  shall  be  strictlv  coin 
plied  with. 

1717.  The  temporary  absence  of  the  judge  advocate  at  any    £*"rm?f  oft 
time  during  the  progress  of  the  trial  does  not  invalidate  the  pro-JfJJit 
ceedings.  but  as  the  court  has  no  authority  to  detail  any  person 

to  act  as  judge  advocate,  it  must,  in  case  of  his  incapacity, 
adjourn  from  day  to  day,  until  he  is  able  to  resume  his  duty 
or  a  successor  is  api>ointed  by  the  convening  authority.

1  731.   (1 )  The  judge  advocate  is  the  official  prosecutor  for  the  (hB'Jl'ilo"H  |Jf 
United  States,  and  when  the  military  accuser  is  allowed  to  be  pres-  ra[,  ,Bd'tfc"  •£ 
ent  in  court,  it  is  merely  for  the  puri»oses  of  material  justice  and  emer. 
as  assistant  to  the  judge  advocate.     Whatever  observations  the  ac- 
cuser has   to  make  or  whatever  questions  to   propose  must  be 
stated  privately  to  the  judge  advocate,  who,  if  he  thinks  the  re- 
marks proper,  shall  avail  himself  of  the  suggestions  of  the  In- 
formant. 

(2)  The  judge  advocate  shall  offer  only  such  evidence  as  is  law-     ETidpw*  of- 
fully  admissible:  when  in  doubt  he  shall  offer  the  evidence.     The  j^,"^,',;"^  *<l" 
court  shall  determine  ail  questions  as  to  the  admissibility  of  evi- 
dence, and  its  decision  thereon  is  final. 

(3)  Members  and  judges  advocate  of  courts-martial  shall  ac-     B'le* of  eTl* 
quaint  themselves  with  the  rules  of  evidence  and.  as  far  as  justice         * 
requires,  apply  them  in  determining  the  admissibility  of  evidence. 

Such  rules  shall  be  departed  from  in  cases  of  necessity  only  which 
are  created  by  the  nature  of  the  service,  the  constitution  of  the 
court,  and  its  course  of  procedure. 

1732.  (1)  The  judge  advocate  is  particularly  to  object  to  the     improper  *•»!- 
admission  of  improper  evidence,  and  shall  jM.int  out  to  the  court  ,™[r  "Jti'r   to 
the  irrelevancy  of  any  testimony  that  may  be  adduced  which  il"<- i,',- ,,i,j,,-i.  ,i  t,,.

(2)   Should  the  advice  of  the  judge  advocate  be  disregarded  by      .IM;'r'""frij  'Jf 
the  court,  he  shall  be  allowed  to  enter  his  opinion  iijMm  the  record.  JJSwISf'bi 
Ciuler  such  circumstances  it  is  also  proper  for  the  court  to  record  COM rt. 
the   reasons   for    its   decision.     The   minutes  of  opinion   and   de- 
cision are  made  for  the  information  of  the  revising  authority, 
who  should  have  the  error  or  wrong,  on  whichever  side  It  may 
be  found,  brought  fairly  under  his  consideration;  but  neither  the 
judge  advocate,  the  accused,  nor  any  member  of  the  court  has  any  "rf

if  he  is  not  assisted  by  counsel,  from  advancing  anything  which 
may  tend  either  to  criminate  him  or  prejudice  his  cause,  more 
especially  if  he  appears  to  be  ignorant  or  inexperienced.  Should 
the  accused  have  no  competent  adviser,  the  judge  advocate  shall 
also  see  that  no  illegal  testimony  is  brought  against  him,  and 
shall  direct  him  how  to  present  to  the  court  in  the  most  efficient 
manner,  the  facts  upon  which  his  defense  is  based.  This  in- 
cludes the  introduction  of  evidence  in  extenuation  or  in  mitiga- 
tion of  the  offense,  as  well  as  evidence  of  previous  good  conduct 
or  character. 

SECTION  6. — PLACE  OF  ASSEMBLY. 

1734.  Courts-martial  shall  be  assembled  and  held  in  a  con- 
venient part  of  a  ship  or  navy  yard,  or  as  may  be  ordered.    The 
sessions  shall  be  public,  and  all  persons  except  such  as  may  be 
required  to  give  evidence  shall  be  admitted. 

1735.  The  time  and  place  for  assembling  a  court-martial  being 
distinctly  stated  in  the  order  for  convening,  neither  can  be  changed 
except  by  the  convening  authority,  whose  sanction  must  be  ob- 
tained should  circumstances  render  a  change  necessary  or  expe- 
dient, and  the  court  shall  assemble  at  the  place  and,  as  nearly  as 
practicable,  at  the  time  named  in  the  order  convening  it. 

1736.  No  naval  general  court-martial,  or  other  assembly  of  a 
judicial  character,  shall  be  ordered  or  permitted  to  assemble  or 
conduct  any  part  of  its  oroceedings  in  any  place  subject  to  for- 
eign jurisdiction. 

SECTION  7. — THE  TRIAL. 

1737.  After  a  general  court-martial  assembles  in  conformity  to 
order,  the  person  detailed  to  act  as  provost  marshal,  if  there  be 
one,  the  clerk  or  reporter,  the  interpreter,  if  any,  and  the  accused, 
shall  be  introduced ;  the  accused  must  appear  unfettered,  unless 
violence  or  escape  is  apprehended. 

1738.  (1)  The  accused  is  entitled  to  counsel  as  a  right,  and 
the  court  can  not  properly  deny  him  the  assistance  of  a  profes- 
sional or  other  adviser ;  but,  unless  by  special  authorization  of 
the  convening  authority  a  stenographer  is  employed  to  record  the 
proceedings  of  the  court,  no  person  except  the  judge  advocate  and 
the  accused  shall  be  permitted  to  address  the  court,  or  to  interfere 
in  any  manner  with  its  proceedings;  and,  except  when  a  stenog- 
rapher is  authorized  as  above  stated,  all  communications,  motions, 
and  questions  should  be  made  in  writing.     Permission  to  address 
the  court  orally  may,  however,  when  a  stenographer  is  employed, 
be  granted  to  counsel  for  the  accused  by  the  court. 

(2)  When  the  accused  has  no  legal  adviser,  the  court  may,  at 
his  request,  select  some  officer  within  reach  to  assist  him.  This 
can  only  be  done,  however,  with  the  consent  of  such  officer.  En- 
listed men  on  trial  should  be  particularly  advised  of  their  rights 
in  the  premises,  and  counsel  detailed  for  them,  if  practicable, 
unless  they  explicitly  state  that  they  do  not  desire  such  assistance. 

1739.  The  order  convening  the  court  shall  then  be  read  by  the 
judge  advocate  in  the  presence  of  the  accused;  and  in  each  and 
every  case  tried  a  copy  thereof,  and  of  all  orders  altering  the 
same,  pertaining  to  the  case  on  trial,  certified  by  the  judge  advo- 
cate, shall,  after  having  been  read,  be  appended  to  the  record,  the

ask  the  accused  if  he  objects  to  any  member  of  the  court  appointed 
to  try  him,  and  a  minute  of  this  inquiry  and  the  answer  thereto 
is  invariably  to  be  entered  upon  the  record. 

(2)  The  judge  advocate  can  not  be  challenged  on  any  grounds.    J*d*r 

(3)  As  a  general   rule,   whatever  objection  either  party  may 
make  shall  be  decided  ui>on  before  the  court  is  sworn ;  but  at  any 
stage  of  the  proceedings  prior  to  the  findings  challenge  may  be 
made,  by  either  the  judge  advocate  or  the  accused,  for  cause 
previously  known. 

(4)  It  is  customary,  though  not  necessary,  that  a  member  ob-     Artlo*  to  t>* 
jected  to  should  withdraw,  after  offering  such  explanation  as  he  *****  bjr  eo'rt* 
may  believe  necessary,  and  the  court  shall  then  proceed  to  delib- 
erate and  decide  upon  the  validity  of  the  objection. 

(5)  The  objection,  the  cause  assigned,  the  statement,  if  any,  of    EBtrjr  ipoa  th* 
the  challenged  member,  and  the  decision  of  the  court  shall  berew>rd-

tion  to  the  decision  of  the  court.  «»«*  wwtaiw. 

(7)  Should  the  objection  be  pronounced  valid,  and  the  member-    Artlo*  of  roirt 
ship  of  the  court  be  thereby  reduced  below  the  legal  number,  the  Jj|^  J^"fMl 
court  shall  be  adjourned  and  a  report  made  to  the  convening 
authority.

shall  be  read  aloud,  and  the  original,  or  a  true  copy  thereof,  made 
a  part  of  the  record. 

(2)  No  expense  to  the  Government  by  the  employment  of  a    Kmpiojmmt  »f

minds  of  the  court  with  regard  to  the  court's  jurisdiction,  the 
relevancy  of  the   charges   and   specifications,    or,    if  a    criminal 
offense  is  to  be  investigated,  to  see  that  the  facts  specified  are 
described  in  such  legal  manner  as  will  justify  the  court  in  award- 
ing, on  conviction,  a  punishment  adequate  to  the  offense. 

Objections  to        (2)   Should  any  doubt  arise  or  objection  be  made  to  the  charges

merits  of  the  case.     Whatever  the  plea  may  be,  it  must  be  fully 
recorded  in  the  proceedings.     If  a  written  statement  of  the  plea 
be  handed  into  court,  it  shall  be  read  and  appended  to  the  record.

stenographer  is  authorized,  witnesses  may,  at  the  discretion  of  the 

court,  read  over,  out  of  court,  their  testimony  as  recorded  and  be 
called  before  the  court  to  correct,  amend,  or  pronounce  it  to  be 
correct. 

(3)  In  recording  corrections  or  amendments  made  by  a  witness,     Ampndoip«t  of 
no  erasure  or  obliteration  is  under  any  circumstances  to  be  ad-  J^JoJJ^i'*  *"*

explanation  the  witness  may  have  to  make,  shall  be  separately 

and  distinctly  entered  on  the  proceedings. 

(4)  A  witness  who  has  approved  his  testimony  may,  even  upon    hAil"l1dmr'!< 
a  subsequent  day,  be  readmitted,  at  his  request,  for  the  purpose  of

were  not  in  court  at  the  same  time.  Witnesses  are  also  to  be 
warned  that  they  are  not  to  converse  on  any  matter  i>ertaining  to 
the  pending  trial  during  its  continuance,  but  such  warning  shall 
not  be  given  to  a  member  or  to  the  accused.  (Art  1753,  par.  2.) 

1761.  After  the  prosecution  has  closed  no  further  evidence  on     Pro»e*«tiom 
its  part  shall   be  admitted  except  by  special  permission  of  theelo*''d- 
court. 

1762.  The  accused  shall,  at  his  own  request  but  not  otherwise,  1Tff"* 
be  allowed  to  testify  in  his  own  behalf;  but  his  failure  to  make 
such  request  shall  not  create  any  presumption  against  him. 

1  763.   (1)  After  the  defense  has  closed  no  evidence  on  Its  part 
shall  be  admitted  except  by  social  permission  of  the  court. 

(2)  The  accused  shall  be  at  liberty  to  make  his  defense  in  writ-  fM^"" 
ing,  or,  if  :ui  official  stenographer  be  present,  orally,  either  In  per- 
son or  by  counsel.     This  defense,  if  written,  he  shall  submit  to 

the  court  for  Inspection  before  it  Is  publicly  read,  and,  if  it  eon- 
tains  anything  disrespectful,  the  court  may  prevent  that  part  from 
being  read;  but  the  whole  shall  be  appended  to  the  proceedings,  or 
recorded  as  a  part  thereof,  if  the  accused  desires  It,  and  he  shall 
be  held  responsible  for  the  same. 

(3)  The  statement  of  the  accused  is  a  personal  declaration  or     Sl*ljm',!'lrj>i' 
defense  and  can  not  legally  be  acted  upon  as  evidence  by  the  court.  J£J£ 

It  lias  a  threefold  function:  First,  as  a  modification  of  the  plea 
which  must  he  considered  by  the  court;  second,  as  a  summing  up 
and  closing  argument  for  the  defense,  which  may  be  considered 
by  the  court  :  and,  third,  as  a  plea  for  leniency  which  may  not  be 
considered  l>y  the  court  except  In  recommending  the  accused 
to  the  clemency  of  the  revising  authority. 

(4)  Any  averments  or  facts  embraced  in  the  statement  may,  of 
course,  be  proved  by  testimony,  but   unless  so  proved  it   Is  not 
within  the  province  of  the  court  to  take  judicial  cognisance  of 
them  in  determining  the  culpability  or  Innocence  of  the  accused.

she  shall  have  arrived  within  half  a 
mile  of  such  curve  or  bend,  shall  give 
a  signal  by  one  long  blast  of  the  steam 
whistle,  which  signal  shall  be  an- 
sicered  by  a  similar  blast  given  by  any 
approaching  steam  vessel  that  may 
be  within  hearing.  Should  such  signal 
be  so  answered  by  a  steam  vessel  upon 
1he  farther  side  of  such  bend,  then 
the  usual  signals  for  meeting  and  pass- 
ing shall  immediately  be  given  and 
answered;  but,  if  the  first  alarm  sig- 
nal of  such  vessel  be  not  answered, 
she  is  to  consider  the  channel  clear 
and,  govern  herself  accordingly. 

When  steam  vessels  are  moved  from 
their  docks  or  berths,  and  other  boats 
are  liable  to  pass  from  any  direction 
toward  them,  they  shall  gire  the  same 
signal  as  in  the  case  of  vessels  meeting 
at  a  bend,  but  immediately  after  clear- 
ing the  berths  so  as  to  be  fully  in  sight 
they  shall  be  governed  by  the  steering 
and  sailing  rules. 

RULE  VIII.  When  steam  vessels  are 
running  in  the  same  direction,  and  the 
vessel  ichich  is  astern  shall  desire  to 
pass  on  the  right  or  starboard  hand 
of  the  vessel  ahead,  she  shall  give  one 
short  blast  of  the  steam  whistle,  as  a 
signal  of  such  desire,  and  if  the  vessel
